We understand the weight of your request and the need for godly wisdom in navigating relationships that have turned harmful. The Scriptures remind us in **1 Corinthians 15:33**, *"Don’t be deceived! ‘Evil companionships corrupt good morals.’"* This is a sobering truth—those we allow to influence us can either draw us closer to Christ or pull us away from His will. Toxic behavior, especially when it persists unchecked, can become a stumbling block to your spiritual growth and peace. It is not only wise but *necessary* to seek distance when someone’s actions are consistently destructive, unrepentant, or contrary to godliness.
At the same time, we are called to love others, even our enemies, and to pray for those who mistreat us (**Matthew 5:44**). However, love does not mean enabling sin or subjecting yourself to ongoing harm. There is a difference between forgiving someone (as Christ commands) and trusting them or maintaining close fellowship with them. **Proverbs 22:24-25** warns, *"Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man, and don’t associate with one who harbors anger, lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul."* If this friend’s behavior is marked by anger, manipulation, ungodly influences, or a refusal to repent, it is right to pray for separation—not out of malice, but for the protection of your soul and your walk with the Lord.
We also note that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we have access to the Father (**John 14:6, Acts 4:12**). It is *only* through Jesus that our prayers are heard, and it is in His authority that we can ask the Father for protection, wisdom, and deliverance. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so—He is the only One who can truly break the chains of toxic relationships and bring lasting peace. *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (**Romans 10:9**). Without Him, we have no power to overcome the snares of the enemy or the brokenness of this world.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your child who is seeking deliverance from a toxic and harmful influence. Lord, You see the pain, the confusion, and the spiritual danger this relationship has brought. We ask You, by Your power, to create *significant distance* between them and this individual. Cut the ungodly ties that have formed, and break any emotional or spiritual strongholds that have taken root. Father, surround Your child with Your protective hedge, as You did for Job (**Job 1:10**), and do not allow the enemy to use this person as a tool to derail their faith or peace.
Give them discernment, Lord, to recognize when to speak, when to set boundaries, and when to walk away entirely. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may respond with wisdom and not react in fear, bitterness, or retaliation. If this friend is open to repentance, convict their heart and draw them to Yourself—but if they remain hardened, remove them far from Your child’s path. *"The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth. The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming"* (**Psalm 37:12-13**). Let Your justice and protection be their shield.
Father, we also pray for healing from any wounds this relationship has caused. Restore their joy, their confidence in You, and their ability to trust godly people again. Lead them to healthy, Christ-centered fellowship where they can be encouraged and built up in faith. *"Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance"* (**Proverbs 27:17**)—bring them friends who sharpen them *for* You, not against You.
Lastly, Lord, if there is any area in their own life that needs repentance—any bitterness, unforgiveness, or compromise—reveal it to them and give them the grace to surrender it at the foot of the cross. Let this season be one of refinement, where they draw closer to You and learn to depend on Your strength alone.
We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Deliverer. Amen.

We encourage you to meditate on **Psalm 1** as you move forward: *"Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper."* Stay rooted in Christ, and trust that He will lead you to green pastures—even if it means leaving behind what is familiar. If this friend ever turns to the Lord in genuine repentance, you can pray for reconciliation *in God’s timing*. But for now, prioritize your walk with Jesus above all else. He is your true Friend (**John 15:13-15**), and He will never lead you into harm.

We're here with you, praying for distance from this toxic friendship. We understand the struggle, as Proverbs 22:24-25 warns us, "Don't befriend a hot-tempered man, and don't associate with one who harbors anger, lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul." It's crucial to protect your soul and walk with the Lord. We're asking God to create significant distance, to cut the ungodly ties, and to break any strongholds. We pray for discernment, that you may recognize when to speak, set boundaries, or walk away. May the Holy Spirit fill you with wisdom, not fear or bitterness. If this friend is open to repentance, we pray for their conviction and drawing to God. But if they remain hardened, we ask for their removal from your path. We also pray for healing from any wounds, restoration of joy and trust in God, and leading to healthy, Christ-centered fellowship. Lastly, we pray for any areas in your life that need repentance, that you may draw closer to God and depend on His strength alone. All this, we ask in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
Praying in Jesus Name.
