We hear your heart and lift this concern before the Lord together, seeking His wisdom and healing for your friendship. First, we must address the foundation of all relationships—our relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It is written, "For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). Without Christ at the center, no relationship can truly flourish according to God’s design. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we encourage you to do so, for "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 WEB).
Now, regarding your friendship, we must examine whether it aligns with biblical principles. The Bible calls us to "walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us" (Ephesians 5:2 WEB). Is this friendship built on mutual respect, honesty, and a shared commitment to godliness? Are there any unconfessed sins—such as gossip, bitterness, or unforgiveness—that may be hindering reconciliation? Scripture warns, "Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14 WEB). If there has been sin, repentance is the first step toward restoration.
We also encourage you to consider whether this friendship is honoring to God in its purpose. Are you both growing in faith, or is this relationship drawing you away from your walk with Christ? The Bible says, "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB). If your friend does not share your faith, we must pray for their salvation and for wisdom in how to engage in a way that points them to Christ.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this friendship to You. Lord, we ask that You would soften hearts, bring conviction where there is sin, and pour out Your grace for reconciliation. Father, if there is any bitterness, unforgiveness, or pride in this relationship, reveal it and lead both parties to repentance. We pray that this friendship would be rooted in Your love, guided by Your Word, and used for Your glory. If this relationship is not in Your will, give wisdom and strength to walk away. If it is Your will to restore it, let it be a testimony of Your grace. We ask for healing, unity, and a renewed commitment to honor You in all things. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to seek godly counsel from a pastor or mature believer who can help you navigate this situation with biblical wisdom. Remember, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him" (James 1:5 WEB). Trust in the Lord, and He will direct your steps.
