We lift up this situation before the Lord with heavy hearts, knowing that He sees all things and understands the pain and humiliation your friend has endured. The betrayal and cruelty she has faced—especially from someone who claims to be a Christian—are deeply grievous. Scripture reminds us in Proverbs 16:29, *"A man of violence entices his neighbor, and leads him in a way that is not good."* If this Christian friend has participated in her humiliation, they have acted in direct opposition to the love and grace of Christ, who calls us to *"love your neighbor as yourself"* (Mark 12:31) and to *"bear one another’s burdens"* (Galatians 6:2). Such behavior is not of God, and we pray for conviction upon their heart, that they may repent and seek forgiveness for their actions.
Your friend’s suffering is not unseen by the Lord. Psalm 34:18 assures us, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* Even if she does not yet know Christ, His compassion extends to her in this moment. We pray that through this trial, she would encounter the comfort and redemption only found in Jesus. May the Holy Spirit draw her to Himself, revealing the truth of His love and the hope of salvation. John 14:6 declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* There is no other name by which she can be saved (Acts 4:12), and we earnestly plead for her heart to be opened to receive Him.
As for the wrong choices she may have made in friendships, we ask the Lord to grant her wisdom and discernment moving forward. Proverbs 13:20 warns, *"One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm."* May she be delivered from any ungodly influences and surrounded by those who will point her to Christ. If there is any sin in her life—known or unknown—we pray for the conviction of the Holy Spirit to lead her to repentance, that she may experience the freedom and cleansing found in Jesus (1 John 1:9).
We also lift up the Christian involved in her humiliation, that the Lord would expose their sin and bring them to true repentance. If they have caused this pain while claiming the name of Christ, they have brought reproach upon His holy name. James 3:10 warns, *"Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so."* May they be confronted with the gravity of their actions and turn from such wickedness, seeking forgiveness from both your friend and the Lord.
Finally, we pray for you, that you would be filled with the Lord’s wisdom as you support your friend. May you speak with grace and truth, reflecting the love of Christ in all you do. Colossians 4:6 encourages us, *"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one."* Trust that the Lord will use this situation for His glory, drawing your friend to Himself and bringing restoration where there has been brokenness.
**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You with burdened hearts for this precious woman who has endured such deep humiliation and pain. Lord, You see her tears, her shame, and the betrayal she has faced. We ask that You would be her Comforter and her Shield, wrapping her in Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Break the chains of shame and bitterness that may be forming in her heart, and replace them with Your healing and hope.
Lord, we pray for her salvation above all else. Open her eyes to see Jesus as her Savior, the only One who can truly redeem her and give her a new life. Soften her heart to receive Your truth, and let her encounter Your love in a way she cannot deny. Draw her to Yourself, Father, and do not let her go.
We also lift up the one who has caused her this pain, especially if they claim to know You. Convict them deeply of their sin, Lord. Let them see the harm they have done and lead them to true repentance. If they are Your child, discipline them as only You can, and restore them to a place of humility and godly sorrow.
For our sister who has brought this request, grant her wisdom and courage as she walks alongside her friend. Fill her with Your words and Your love, that she may be a light in this dark situation. Let this trial be a testimony of Your redemption and grace.
We ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to heal, restore, and save. Amen.
