Rekindling of a friendship

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer for the rekindling of this friendship.

We have continued to bring you and your friend before the Lord. We remember you shared that this was a recent but very valuable friendship that has become awkward and distant, and that you have not yet had a chance to talk to make things right. We have prayed for that open door for honest and gentle communication if it is the Lord's will, and for wisdom for you to know whether you are overthinking or whether there is something that needs to be addressed. We understand how hurt you feel and how the silence feels like a betrayal after the serious and vulnerable conversations you shared, especially while you are carrying unexpressed feelings for them as more than a friend and choosing not to act on those feelings.

We have prayed that God would guard your heart and bring you peace from the hurt, and that He would work in your friend's heart as well. We have asked the Lord to remove any awkwardness and to restore a cool and healthy brotherly or sisterly friendship if that is His best for you both, and to make clear whether this distance is His hand keeping you apart for a reason or simply a misunderstanding that can be healed. We have especially prayed for your desire to someday tell this friend about Jesus, that God would protect that opportunity and use your life as a testimony to them.

We know the Lord is close to the brokenhearted as Psalm 147:3 reminds us, and we pray He continues to comfort you. We also pray you will experience the truth of Prov 17:17 and Rom 12:18 as you seek to live at peace with others.

We pray in Jesus name for healing for your hurt, for clarity instead of confusion, for the Lord to soften any offense and to open the way for reconciliation, and for contentment to trust His timing and will for this friendship. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.

If your request was answered and the friendship has been restored or you have found peace and clarity, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered and the awkwardness and hurt remain, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer.

I prayed for a crush to leave my heart and head space because she's unavailable due to dating preferences. I felt peace finally. Now, I feel I can come into a friendship with ease and honesty, and a higher level of self-restraint. As I was fearful I would say flirty things or carry into it...
