My best friend is in crisis after going through a series of deaths and losses. He hasn't been himself at all recently. He dealt with the last death in late October, and hasn't been fully himself since. Every time it seems like some light breaks through, and we get some breakthrough, it seems like something else happens, and he shuts down again, and worse ends up in very unhealthy and sick patterns and places. He's normally a stable, kind, loving man with a centered heart and deep faith. Recently he's made some very self destructive choices that haven't just hurt him, but me and others as well. He just hasn't been thinking clearly. I believe he's been drinking too much, and allowing jezebellic women in because they boost his mood temporarily with their attention, but they've all been dangerous and caused more issues for him. A little over a week ago, he brought one of these women to a work event, and they made him look very bad. He also hurt me, and allowed himself to be disrespected. It was like he wasn't even himself, or aware of what was happening. He never would have normally allowed or been ok with the behavior she displayed, and the way he was treated. It hurt me and our relationship, and it hurt business connections. He wasn't himself at all, it was like he was in a trance. I truly don't believe he even knows he hurt me. I know we need to talk. It's like a conflict that needs to be resolved, but I feel like I need to talk to him in person, and he's been so shut down that he's only communicated with me via text, and I haven't been able to get him to set a time to get together yet. He doesn't know that I'm hurting. It's been so hard, and I'm struggling, and I'm also extremely worried about him. I've been standing for his healing and his mind to be restored. I feel broken. I miss my best friend. I'm beside myself how to even get through to him right now. He's so lost and confused right now, it's hard to see. Even his memory and general clarity has been affected. I need help standing. I need prayer support. Please pray for the fog to clear and God to give him clarity, and fill him with truth. For God to restore his sound mind, and heal his memory. And for God to show him the wrongness and foolishness of what he is doing right now and bring his heart to repentance so healing and restoration can begin for us.
Also, Please pray for God to guide me in how to talk to him about this to resolve the conflict. and for God to open doors and make a way for us to talk in person. And for him to reach out, and be open and receptive. We usually talk about things very easily. And I've never had to wait to confront a challenge with him. But the other night there was no way to have a private conversation. it was too public, so now, I'm not sure how to handle it. Complete restoration for him, and his mind, and heart, and complete restoration for our relationship, and healing is what I'm believing for. Your prayers are so appreciated. Thank you.
