friendships

We understand that you're seeking community and Godly friendships, and we're here to pray and offer guidance on this important aspect of life. Let's first look at what the Bible says about friendships.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (WEB) tells us, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn't have another to lift him up."
Proverbs 13:20 (WEB) advises, "He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm."
1 Corinthians 15:33 (WEB) warns, "Don't be deceived! 'Evil companionships corrupt good morals.'"
From these verses, we see that friendships are important for support and growth, and that we should seek friends who are wise and Godly. It's not specified what kind of community you're looking for, but we strongly encourage you to look for a local church and a body of believers that are sound in doctrine and practice.
Let's pray for you:
"Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Godly friendships and community for this person. Guide them to a local church where they can find like-minded believers who are wise and seeking after you. Give them discernment to recognize good companions and to avoid evil ones. We pray that these friendships would be encouraging in their walk with you, Lord. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen."
If you haven't mentioned Jesus Christ in your request, we want to remind you that it's by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it says in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" There is no other name by which we can be saved. Make sure to include the name of Jesus in your prayers and to believe in Him as your Savior.
Lastly, be open to meet people in different settings. Church is a great starting place, but also be open to meeting and ministering with Christians in your neighborhood, workplace etc. For example, the Bible tells us in Philippians 2:15 (WEB), "that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world".

We're here with you, seeking God's will for your friendships. Let's remember Psalm 133:1, "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" Let's pray that you find a community where you can grow, encourage, and be encouraged in your walk with Jesus. In Jesus' name, we ask for His guidance and wisdom in your journey.
