We understand that you're going through a difficult time, and we're here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance. Firstly, it's important to note that you ended your prayer with "in Jesus name," which is excellent because Jesus said "Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."
In times of trouble, it's essential to remember that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, don't be afraid, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
Concerning the issue with your friend, the Bible tells us in Ephesians 4:31-32, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God also in Christ forgave you." It's crucial to forgive and let go of past issues, even if you feel you're not at fault. Remember that Jesus said in Matthew 5:11-12, "Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
Regarding your feelings of being tested, James 1:2-4 says, "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."
Let's pray together:
"Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up our brother who is going through a challenging time. We ask for Your divine protection, provision, and healing in his life. Help him to forgive and release any bitterness, and grant him the strength to endure these trials with joy. May Your will be done in his life, and may he be a testimony of Your unfailing love and faithfulness. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen."
Stay strong in the Lord, and remember that God is always with you. Stand firm in your faith, and do not be swayed by the world's applause for ungodly deeds. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and His eternal promises, and God will give you the strength to overcome any obstacle.
