We join with you in lifting up this request before the Lord, recognizing how deeply you care for these friends and their family. It is beautiful to see your heart seeking God’s will and the Holy Spirit’s guidance in this situation. We also commend you for invoking the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and the power to see transformation. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is by His name alone that we pray and find hope.
Your desire for a holy revelation from the Holy Spirit for your friends and their family aligns with God’s heart for all people to come to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. The Word tells us, *"The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB). We pray that the Holy Spirit would move powerfully in their hearts, opening their eyes to the truth of the Gospel and drawing them into a saving relationship with Jesus. May any spiritual blindness be removed, and may they encounter the love and conviction of the Holy Spirit in a way that leads them to surrender fully to Christ.
You’ve also asked for blessing over this relationship and for God’s guidance to prevail over any sin, misunderstanding, or hurt. This is wise, for relationships can easily become entangled in the enemy’s schemes if we are not vigilant. The Bible warns us, *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour"* (1 Peter 5:8, WEB). We pray that God would expose any hidden sin, bitterness, or division that may be hindering this relationship. May His truth bring clarity, and may His love cover any offenses. As you seek His will, remember the promise: *"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him"* (James 1:5, WEB). Trust that God is faithful to guide you as you listen to His voice.
Regarding your request for "new feedback" from or about them through the voice of God, we encourage you to test every impression or word you receive against Scripture. The Holy Spirit will never contradict God’s Word, and His voice will always lead you closer to Christlikeness and truth. *"Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world"* (1 John 4:1, WEB). As you wait on the Lord, remain patient and rooted in prayer. He will speak in His perfect timing, and His ways are higher than ours.
We also want to gently remind you to guard your heart against an over-emphasis on seeking "signs" or "feedback" from God about this situation. While it is good to desire His guidance, our primary focus should always be on seeking His face—not just His hand. Jesus said, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). Sometimes, the Lord calls us to trust Him without immediate answers, knowing that He is working even when we cannot see it. Rest in the assurance that *"he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ"* (Philippians 1:6, WEB).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister and her friends and their family. Lord, we ask that You would pour out Your Holy Spirit upon them, bringing a holy revelation of Your truth and love. Open their eyes to see Jesus as He truly is—the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Convict their hearts of sin and draw them into repentance and faith. Let no scheme of the enemy prevail in this relationship, but may Your peace, wisdom, and unity reign.
Father, we ask for Your clear guidance in this situation. If there is any sin, misunderstanding, or hurt that needs to be addressed, bring it to light and grant the grace to forgive and reconcile. Help our sister to discern Your voice above all others, and give her patience to wait on Your perfect timing. May this relationship be a testament to Your glory, and may it reflect Your design for godly, Christ-centered connections.
We rebuked any spirit of confusion, division, or deception that may be at work. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we declare that Your truth will prevail, and Your will shall be done in this situation. Strengthen our sister’s faith as she seeks You, and remind her that You are faithful to complete the work You have begun.
Finally, Lord, we pray that You would use this situation to deepen our sister’s trust in You. Help her to release any anxiety or desire to control the outcome, and instead, may she rest in Your sovereignty. Let her heart be filled with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and Scripture. Stay rooted in His Word, and trust that He is working even when the path is unclear. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). Keep us updated on how the Lord is moving, and we will continue to stand with you in prayer.
