We understand that you're seeking prayer for your relationship with a friend. Firstly, we want to emphasize the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through Him that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
In addressing your request, let us encourage you with something super important. Friendship is a wonderful gift, but if this friendship is actually a romantic or courtship relationship looking for a future spouse, we want to guide you according to biblical principles. If this friendship is actually more than a simple friendship, we want to remind you of God's design for relationships. God created marriage to be between a man and a woman, as stated in Genesis 2:24 "a man leaves his father and his mother, and shall join his wife: and they shall be one flesh" (WEB).
Regarding your relationship, we want to pray that God's will be done in your friendship. Let us pray that if this relationship is not in accordance with God's will, that you are both provided the strength to understand and respect that.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our friend who has brought this request to us. We pray for their friendship, that it may be guided by Your wisdom and aligned with Your will. We also pray for clarity if this relationship is a romantic or courtship relationship. If it is, we pray for purity, for honesty, and for a commitment to honor You in all aspects of their interactions. Guide them both and lead them in the way that will bring glory to You.
If this friendship is not in accordance with Your will, we pray that You give them the strength and understanding to honor Your guidance. Help them to seek You first and to trust in Your plan for their lives.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God's will in all your relationships and to trust in His perfect plan for your life. May God bless your friendship and guide you both in His truth.
