Need a prayer to reunite my friend and me - Bel - 10-12-2013 01:45 AM
I believe in miracles, but my faith is being tested. For a long time I suffered in silence, pushing those closest away. One true friend of over 13 years, is now decided she needs time. I had no control over my depression and I have said sorry so many times. It's just putting me back into the same rut I was in and still fighting it.
I love her, she was the only one who stood by me, she never judged and I miss her.
I'd do anything to hear from her, I've tried calling and poured my heart out in a letter.
I pray with every ounce of me Jesus, put your hand on our hearts. Help her to forgive me,allow me time to explain that when you were as slow as I was I had no control. I can't fight this battle much longer and I'm struggling. Please I pray I need her in my life.

Separation from your best friend is one of the hardest things that someone can go through. But, in Proverbs 18:24, the verse says "...but there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." The Lord can give you the comfort you need, especially with your depression. It's likely that this friend has been very concerned for you and worried for you. However, most friends have a point where they just can't handle the stress. They're so worried for you that it begins to impact their life and it becomes to much to continue on interacting with that loved one...not because they don't care, but they just aren't meant to carry the load.
So, perhaps the best thing would be to give her the space that she needs, not that you won't ever be friends again or that God can't repair the relationship. But, perhaps you can turn more toward the Lord? He is able to carry all your burdens in a way that your friend can't. He says to give him burden and He will give you His yoke, because it's light. He can give the relief and He never tires or grows weary from hearing your problems, because He's God! He knows your tomorrow and what will happen, so He won't get bogged down with worry (Jeremiah 29:11).
I got in an argument with my best friend about six months ago and know how extremely hard it is to try to get along without them. I pray for him every day and pray for his salvation, but I have to trust God to take care of the needs in his life. Unfortunately,our relationship had grown toxic and it could no longer thrive the way a friendship should. But, a really comforting verse is "A friend loveth at all times..." Proverbs 17:17. It has become my favorite verse, because we can stick to that command. Pray for your friend, and give her the space, and let the Lord take care of the rest.
"They that sow in tears, shall reap in joy." ~Psalm 126:6
Hope this helps. God bless.
