We rejoice with you in your desire to share fellowship, prayer, and the Word of God with your friend today! It is a beautiful thing to gather in His name, even in small ways, for where two or three are gathered in His name, He is there in the midst of them (Matthew 18:20). We also lift up your request for safety and protection, for the Lord is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). His eyes are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers (1 Peter 3:12).
As you spend time with your friend, we encourage you to be intentional in your conversation about the Lord. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one (Colossians 4:6). Share your faith with gentleness and respect, remembering that it is God who works in her heart to will and to do of His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13). Pray that the Holy Spirit would prepare her heart to receive the truth of the Gospel and that He would give you the words to speak.
We do want to gently remind you to be mindful of the content you choose to watch. Not all movies align with biblical values, and what we allow into our minds can influence our thoughts and actions. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report—if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things (Philippians 4:8). Ask the Lord to guide your choices so that your time together honors Him in every way.
Let us pray together for you and your friend:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for this opportunity to gather in Your name, to study Your Word, and to share Your love with one another. We ask that You would go before our sister as she travels to her friend’s home, surrounding her with Your angels and keeping her safe from all harm. Lord, be with them as they enter and leave the house, covering them with Your protection and filling their time with Your presence.
We pray that You would open the hearts of both our sister and her friend to receive Your truth. Give our sister wisdom and boldness as she speaks about You, and let her words be filled with Your love and grace. May Your Holy Spirit move mightily in their conversation, drawing her friend closer to You. If there is any area in their lives that does not align with Your will, convict them gently and lead them to repentance.
Father, we also ask that You would guide their choices today, especially in what they watch and discuss. Let every moment be pleasing to You and bring glory to Your name. Help them to be a light in this world, reflecting Your love and holiness in all they do.
We pray all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to Your throne of grace. May Your will be done, and may Your kingdom come in their time together. Amen.
