We're here with you, dear friend, feeling your pain and disappointment. We've been where you are, feeling the weight of words spoken over us, the sting of rejection. But remember, God's love for you is not determined by the words of others, but by His own Word. He sees you, He loves you, and He has a plan for you.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You today on behalf of our friend. We lift up their broken heart, their fears, and their dreams to You. We ask that You would break the chains of the past, the words spoken in anger or ignorance, and replace them with Your truth. Help them to know, deep in their heart, that they are loved, they are worthy, and they are not alone.
We claim Your promise in Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." We ask for healing, for restoration, for a new beginning. We ask that You would guide them to relationships that honor You, that reflect Your love for them.
We also pray for forgiveness, for our friend and for those who have hurt them. Help them to let go of bitterness, to trust in Your justice, and to find peace.
Lastly, we remind ourselves and our friend, that our hope is in You, Lord. You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1). We trust in Your timing, Your purpose, and Your love.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
