Prayers

[Liana256]

God, Thank you. God, I am thankful for Lord God Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit and Baby in my life, me in my life, my mother and the spirit of my father, my brothers and sisters, my son’s and daughter’s, my children and babies, those I love and care for, my children and my babies, and those on here who who believe. God, Please remove what caused ### to take off from me in Jesus back around August please, and send ### forward to ### Baby, please. Jesus, I do know where I went wrong at with ###, I broke a promise, to him, he broke a promise to me first, by calling his Moma’s number, because i was having an anxiety attack, and it seems like everything was going through my mind at the time, and since, about two months ago, his friends have introduced him into going back down the old road, and I pray it’s not too late for him to come and join me on this new road, me and him can make together. I have adorned, he says, ### has one good friend, the others are bad influences on him. Jesus, If I am a bad influence on ###, please let me correct myself in him and in me, please. Jesus, I don’t know why my mind goes to ###, but, it does, maybe you know something I don’t, it’s been a minute since he spoke to me, I pray Baby will come to him, and stay with him and stay with ###, and he will want to call me more. I pray I can keep calm and he know by my voice I love him and miss him, I don’t know what I am thinking about I wasn’t expecting to try to change ### nor be with him other than being a friend, someone I’m sore he’s never had true a day in his life, and he might think he has. I was asking I can know him, and become a friend, maybe me and him can do what friends do together, and slowly build a bond of trusts, and truth, instead of help him mess up his life, but, I seemed to do that anyways. Jesus, I miss ###, please have him call em more. God, I pray for those on here in this prayer group. Gods I pray in the same of Jesus. Amen

God, In the name of Jesus. Amen

We join you in giving thanks to God for His goodness and for the gift of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in your life, and we thank Him with you for your mother, the memory of your father, your brothers and sisters, your sons and daughters and children, and for all those you love and care for. We rejoice that you have come before the Father in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to God. As it is written, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6, and There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12.

We hear your heart regarding the one who has pulled away from you since August and your desire for restoration and for him to walk a new road with you. We also hear your honesty in confessing that you broke a promise to him after he broke a promise to you, and that anxiety was overwhelming you at that time. God sees your anxiety and your sorrow, and He invites you to bring it to Him. Do not be anxious about anything, 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 Philippians 4:6-7. Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest Matthew 11:28. We pray that you will continue to cast your cares on Him, and that you will learn to keep your word even when emotions run high, for When you vow a vow to God, do not defer to pay it, for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which you vow Ecclesiastes 5:4 and Let your Yes be Yes, and your No, No Matthew 5:37. This is also an opportunity to extend and seek forgiveness, for we are called to Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you Ephesians 4:32.

We also hear your concern that his friends have led him back down an old road and that only one friend is a good influence. Your concern is wise and biblical. Do not be deceived. Evil companionships corrupt good morals 1 Corinthians 15:33 and One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm Proverbs 13:20. We pray that God will remove every bad influence from his life and surround him with godly counsel, and we also pray that you will examine your own influence as you have asked. That humble prayer is pleasing to God. We encourage you to continue to ask for wisdom, for 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.

Regarding your friendship with him, we encourage you to seek God's will with a pure and patient heart. You shared that you did not originally expect to change him but wanted to be a true friend and slowly build a bond of trust and truth. That desire for a faithful friendship is good, for A friend loves at all times Proverbs 17:17. If this friendship is to grow into courtship, we encourage you to view it through the lens of seeking a godly spouse for marriage, which God has ordained as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. Courtship should be pursued with purity and with the goal of honoring Christ, fleeing from sexual immorality outside of marriage, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's 1 Corinthians 6:20 and Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers Hebrews 13:4. Building trust takes time, truth, and boundaries that honor God, and we encourage you not to try to hold on through anxiety or constant calling, but to entrust him to the Lord and let your words and calm spirit reflect love and respect.

We join you in praying for healing and restoration according to God's perfect will.

Father, we thank You together for Your mercy and for every life You have placed in our sister's care. We lift up to You the one she misses so deeply and those she has mentioned by name before You. You know each heart and each need. We ask that You heal what is broken, forgive what has been promised and not kept on both sides, and grant peace that surpasses understanding to calm anxious thoughts. We pray You would remove bad influences from his path and draw him away from the old road and onto the new road that leads to life in Christ. Place godly friends around him and give him ears to hear Your voice. Help our sister to be a good and godly influence, to speak with grace and truth, and to grow in patience and self control through Your Spirit. If it is Your will, restore this friendship and let it be built on trust, truth, and purity, and if this relationship is to move toward marriage, let it be centered on Christ and honor You. Above all, let Your will be done, for we know that We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose Romans 8:28. Comfort every hurting heart on this prayer wall, and draw each one closer to Jesus. We ask all this in the precious name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

We encourage you to keep praying, to stay in the Word daily, and to seek wise and godly counsel in your local church as you wait on the Lord. He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds Psalm 147:3 and The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit Psalm 34:18. Trust His timing, continue to love with truth and grace, and let your hope rest not in whether he calls more, but in the steadfast love of Christ who will never leave you.

We appreciate you sharing so openly with us, and we hear both the thankfulness in your heart and the ache underneath it.

You named gratitude for Jesus and for your family, and at the same time how much you miss him and how heavy it has felt since August. It makes sense that the broken promises on both sides, the anxiety you experienced, and the distance since then would leave you feeling lonely and wondering what to do next. Wanting a steady friendship built slowly on trust and truth is an understandable desire, and wanting to correct where you feel you went wrong shows care.

You mentioned having anxiety attacks that felt overwhelming. As you keep praying, we gently encourage you to also reach out to your doctor or a trusted counselor for support with that, so you are not carrying it alone.

One small, steady step that may help is to give friendship room to grow at its own pace. When you do have contact, keeping it brief, calm and kind, and allowing him space to respond in his own timing, can keep the door open for honest trust without pressure. It can also help to talk through what happened with a mature, trusted person in your life who knows you both and can offer clear perspective.

We are praying with you and for others in this prayer group as you asked.

Father, we thank You for this one who loves You and is grateful for Your presence. Bring comfort in loneliness, peace when thoughts feel crowded, and wisdom for each next conversation and decision. Guard and guide both hearts, bring healing where there has been hurt, and help her know she is seen and cared for by You. Lead her in Your way step by step. In Jesus name, amen.

 

[Wernad]

May the Lord remove every obstacle that caused distance between her and ###, and restore their connection in truth and trust (Proverbs 3:5-6). May He guard her mind from anxiety and fill her with calm, that her voice may convey love and peace (Philippians 4:6-7). May ### be surrounded by godly influences and drawn away from harmful roads (Psalm 1:1), and may the Lord guide them both on a new path together (Isaiah 43:19). May she release what she cannot control and trust God's timing (Psalm 37:5), knowing He hears and answers (1 John 5:14). May her loved ones be covered in His protection and peace (Psalm 91:11). In Jesus' name, Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your prayer has been brought before the Lord with thanksgiving, and we join you in giving thanks for the mercies you have named, for Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, for your mother and the memory of your father, for your brothers and sisters, for your sons and daughters and little ones, and for all who believe.

You have spoken plainly of a broken promise, and of a promise broken toward you, and of an anxiety that pressed upon your mind. Hear this good word for a troubled conscience, there is forgiveness with God. It is a divine forgiveness, I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions. It is not the forgiveness of man which you must first have to enter heaven, it is the forgiveness of Him whom you have offended, and it is surprising and complete. Whatever your sin has been, if you come with a penitent heart desiring forgiveness, there is forgiveness with Him through Jesus Christ His Son, who was made sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. He not only forgave at the first, but He continues daily to forgive, and His forgiveness is eternal. Come as you are, with no righteousness of your own, and put your trust in Christ, for there is everything you need in Him. If you have broken your word to this friend, confess it to God and, where you can, to him, and seek that grace which makes forgiveness to be as natural as to open the hand, for we who have been so much forgiven ought freely to forgive.

You speak also of anxiety, that your mind was crowded and you could not keep calm. Our Saviour says, do not be anxious about these things, do not get into a state of worry and fretfulness. I have never discovered that anxiety has comforted anybody, or brought any grist to the mill. The very anxiety which arises through your being in a difficulty unfits you to meet that difficulty. Be prudent and watchful, but cast your care upon God, for He careth for you. When the heart is like a broken bone, it is not a light thing. It compels a man to change his lightheartedness for apprehension, for faith and hope seem broken. Yet the psalmist prays, that the bones which Thou hast broken may rejoice, not merely be quiet or callous, but rejoice. God can heal the broken bone, and even if the healed limb is tender, He can still use the broken knee'd horse and ride him gloriously for His own service, as He did with Peter.

Concerning this friend whom you miss and for whom you pray, we hear your desire for a new road together and for a true friendship built on trust and truth. We pray with you that God would remove what is evil and keep him from the old road and from bad influences, for one good friend is a great mercy and evil company corrupts. Yet we must pray as Scripture teaches, that every friendship and every bond between a man and a woman be kept within holiness and truth. The Lord has set apart marriage to be a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and He has set apart living together and the union of the body to belong within that covenant alone. We cannot ask God to bless what lies outside His holy way, but we can ask Him to make both of you clean and upright before Him, to give you a true friendship that does not lead either of you into sin, but helps each to walk more closely with Christ. If it be His will to join your lives in that holy covenant in due time, pray that it may be done in the Lord and with counsel and purity. If it be not His will, pray for grace to love as Christ loves, to desire the other's good and salvation more than your own comfort, and to be content to leave the outcome in God's hands rather than seeking to draw him by your own voice or longing.

It is right that you ask, if I am a bad influence, let me be corrected. That is a humble and needful prayer. Ask the Lord to search you and to make you such a friend as helps and does not hinder, one who speaks truth and walks in it. And do not seek to change another by your own strength, for only God can change the heart. Pray rather that ### and each dear child and this friend may be kept by the Lord, that they may hear the gospel and be brought to salvation through Jesus Christ alone, for there is no other name under heaven whereby we must be saved.

We will pray for you now.

O Lord God, with whom there is forgiveness, blot out transgression for Christ's sake and give a penitent and believing heart. Heal the broken bones that Thou hast bruised, that they may rejoice. Take away anxious care and teach this soul to cast all care upon Thee. Keep this dear one and the little children and ### in Thy tender keeping, guard the mother and all the family, and keep this friend from the snares of evil company. Make both to seek first Thy kingdom and Thy righteousness, and to walk in purity and truth. If it be Thy good will, order their steps in a way that honours Thee, and if not, give submission and peace. Bring each to know Jesus Christ as the only Saviour, and keep them till that day. In the name of Jesus we ask it, Amen.
