Heavenly Father, we come before you on behalf of ###, who is seeking your intervention in a situation where he feels that certain individuals in his life are taking advantage of his kindness and friendship. Lord, we ask for your guidance and protection for ### as he navigates these relationships.
In your Word, you teach us to love one another and to treat others with kindness and respect. You also warn us against selfishness and using others for personal gain. We pray that you would open the eyes of those who are squeezing ### in this way, helping them to see the error of their actions and to change their behavior.
Lord, we ask for your wisdom and discernment for ### as he interacts with these individuals. Grant him the strength to set healthy boundaries and to assert himself when necessary. Help him to find the balance between showing love and kindness, while also protecting his own well-being.
We also pray for a transformation in the hearts of those who are engaging in this behavior. May they come to understand the value of genuine friendship and learn to appreciate others for who they are, rather than what they can gain from them.
Lord, we trust in your power to bring about change and healing in relationships. We ask for your grace and mercy to be poured out upon ### and those involved, that they may experience reconciliation and restoration.
In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
