We understand that you are going through a difficult time with your health and relationships. Firstly, we want to remind you that God is always faithful, and He cares about every detail of our lives. It is only in the name of Jesus that we are saved and we pray to God the Father.
Let's address your health first. The Bible tells us that Jesus took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses (Matthew 8:17, WEB). We pray for your healing in Jesus' name, believing that He is able to heal you from this violent cough. Remember, God's will is always for our good, and sometimes He allows difficulties to draw us closer to Him.
Now, regarding your friendship, we need to consider what the Bible says about relationships. Proverbs 17:17 (WEB) says, "A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity." True friendship should be marked by love and support, even in difficult times.
However, we must also be mindful of the company we keep. 1 Corinthians 15:33 (WEB) warns, "Don't be deceived! 'Evil companionships corrupt good morals.'" If this friendship is causing you distress and is not aligned with biblical principles, it might be wise to reevaluate it.
It is concerning that you mention wanting your friend to text and call you but not upset you. We must remember that our peace comes from God, not from others. John 14:27 (WEB) says, "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful."
We pray that God will give you wisdom in navigating this friendship. May He grant you discernment to know if this friendship is beneficial to your spiritual growth or if it is a hindrance. We pray that you will find true, godly friends who will encourage you in your walk with Christ.
Finally, we want to remind you of the importance of praying in Jesus' name. John 14:6 (WEB) says, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that we pray.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our dear friend who is in need of Your healing touch. Lord, we ask for Your healing power to flow through her body, healing her from this violent cough. We also bring her friend's situation to you and ask that your will be done. We pray through this situation that you will draw her closer to yourself and give her peace. We pray that she has friends that encourage her and help her to be the Christian you want her to be. May your will be done in this friendship, and may she be surrounded by godly influences.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
