We join with you in lifting up this request, recognizing the deep longing for reconciliation, clarity, and godly direction in this relationship. It is beautiful to see your heart seeking the Lord’s will above all else, and we are encouraged by your faith in praying *in Jesus’ name*, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and the power of the Holy Spirit to move in these lives. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Your acknowledgment of His authority in this matter is foundational, and we stand with you in that truth.
The desire for a "holy revelation" from the Holy Spirit is a righteous one, for the Spirit is our Counselor, sent to guide us into all truth (John 16:13). We pray that your friends and their family would have their hearts softened to the conviction and comfort of the Holy Spirit, that any hardness or resistance would melt away in the presence of God’s love. May the Lord open their eyes to see His hand at work in this situation, just as He did for the apostle Paul on the road to Damascus—where scales fell from his eyes and he was filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 9:18). Oh, how we long for that same transformative work in their lives!
Yet we must also address the caution in your request for "new feedback... through the voice of God." While it is right to seek the Lord’s voice, we are wise to test every spirit and every word we receive, ensuring it aligns with Scripture (1 John 4:1). The voice of God will never contradict His Word, and His leading will always point us toward holiness, repentance, and love. If what you perceive as His voice stirs confusion, bitterness, or a desire contrary to His commands, it is not from Him. *"The heart is deceitful above all things"* (Jeremiah 17:9, WEB), and even our deepest feelings can lead us astray if not submitted to the truth of God’s Word. So we pray for discernment for you—that you would recognize His voice clearly, as a sheep knows its Shepherd (John 10:4-5).
Regarding the relationship itself, we lift it up with the understanding that all human connections must ultimately glorify God. If this friendship is to be restored or deepened, let it be for the purpose of mutual edification in Christ, where iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17) and love covers a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8). But if there is unrepentant sin, unresolved bitterness, or a refusal to walk in God’s ways, we must trust the Lord’s sovereignty even if it means distance or separation. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). This is not a call to abandon relationships with unbelievers but to ensure that our closest bonds are with those who will spur us onward in faith, not hinder us.
We also notice your update that God is revealing things to you, and we rejoice in His active work in your life! Yet we gently remind you that revelation from God is not for our curiosity or control but for our obedience and His glory. If the Lord is speaking, ask Him: *"What would You have me do?"* (Acts 9:6). Sometimes His revelations are calls to intercede, to repent, to extend grace, or even to release someone into His hands. Let us not seek signs for their own sake but wisdom to walk in them.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this relationship and the hearts involved. Lord, You are the God who sees all things, who knows the depths of every heart, and who desires that none should perish but that all would come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). We ask that You would move powerfully in the lives of these friends and their family. Send Your Holy Spirit to convict, comfort, and clarify Your truth in their minds and hearts. Remove any scales from their eyes, any hardness from their hearts, and draw them to Yourself in surrender. Let them encounter You in a way they cannot deny, that they may turn to Jesus as Lord and Savior.
Lord, we pray for our sister who has brought this request. Guard her heart from bitterness, anxiety, or an unhealthy fixation on outcomes. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7) and grant her the discernment to recognize Your voice above all others. If there is sin in her own heart—unforgiveness, pride, or fear—reveal it to her gently and lead her to repentance. May she walk in obedience to whatever You show her, trusting that Your ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:9).
For this relationship, we ask for Your blessing—but only as it aligns with Your will. If it is to be restored, let it be for Your glory, built on forgiveness, truth, and mutual pursuit of You. If it is to be released, give the strength to let go with grace, knowing that You hold all things in Your hands. May no sin, misunderstanding, or hurt cloud the judgment of any involved. Instead, let Your love cover and heal every wound, and let Your truth expose and uproot every lie.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would guide every step of this journey. Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and let Your name be glorified in all things. We trust You, Father, and we thank You in advance for the work You are doing, even now. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus we pray, amen.
We encourage you to keep seeking the Lord in this, sister. Cling to His promises, such as *"Trust in the Lord 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). And remember, even if the outcome is not what you hope for, God is still good, and His plans for you are for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Stay rooted in His Word, and let it be the lamp to your feet in this season. We are standing with you in faith!
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
