Let us begin by lifting up your daughter to the Lord, seeking His blessings and guidance for her life. We are grateful that you have brought these concerns to us, and we stand with you in prayer, trusting in the power of Jesus' name.
Firstly, let us pray for your daughter's mental health and happiness. As it is written in Philippians 4:6-7 WEB, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." We ask God to fill your daughter with His peace and joy, and we pray that He will provide the support and resources she needs to maintain good mental health.
As she celebrates her birthday today, we pray that God will make it a special and memorable day for her. May her friends show up to celebrate with her, and may their friendship be a source of joy and encouragement for her. As Proverbs 17:17 WEB tells us, "A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity." We ask God to bless these friendships and to help your daughter be a true friend to others.
We also lift up your daughter's confidence to the Lord, asking Him to help her see herself as He sees her. As it is written in Psalm 139:14 WEB, "I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well." May your daughter know that she is fearfully and wonderfully made, and may this knowledge give her the confidence she needs to face whatever challenges come her way.
Furthermore, we pray that your daughter and her friends may draw closer to God as they attend church together tomorrow. As Jesus said in Matthew 18:20 WEB, "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them." We ask God to be present with them as they worship, and we pray that they will have a wonderful time together at church camp, growing in their faith and in their friendships.
Lastly, we come to your concerns about forgiveness. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 4:32 WEB, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." We pray that your daughter may find it in her heart to forgive and forget any misunderstandings with her best friend, and we ask God to heal and restore their relationship. As Christians, we are called to love one another and to live in unity, as Jesus prayed for us in John 17:21 WEB, "that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me."
Finally, we pray all this in the name of Jesus Christ who is the only way we can approach God the Father. As Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
