I have a friend by the name of Shannon that has gone back to a place God delivered her from. She has turned her back on God. She said wasn't stepping foot back into the church she's been a member of for 6 years. She begin hanging around a woman by the name of Lyndsey that has helped take her backed to that place. Lyndsey also placed a wedge between Shannon and me. We use to pray together, read the bible together and fast together. We don't do that anymore. Shannon and me are like strangers. Pray that she returns to Christ and Lyndsey leaves her life. Also, Shannon is living in her car.

It sounds like your a good friend looking out for the best for your friend. Dont push her. I had a friend who was a born again christian and she pushed her beliefs on me and it pushed me away. Write her a letter or whatever you have to do and gently tell her you care for her and hate to see her living her life this way and are concerned for her. Leave it at that and tell her your door is always open. Continue to pray for her and let her learn during this time. She will be back. Maybe she needs to go through this process. I have a friend who right now is going through his drinking and partying and he wants to be single and live it up and I love him so dearly but I let him know I am here for him. Dont get me wrong i like to have fun but he is taking it to another level. I pray God will change his heart and I hope he learns from this. I let him know my door is always open to him but I dont push him and I dont let him walk all over me. Sometimes its just a matter of them having to learn from their own doing. Let her learn and continue praying.

She also told me in another voicemail that she had a dresam about the pastor and the church. I know God is working in the situation and I will continue to pray specific prayers for her. Thanks again for the reply and I will pray for your friend.
