I must have missed this post, it is very close to my heart, as one of my friends whom is struggling also needs much prayer.
Our loving heavenly Father, I lift these people up to you, and ask that you be a light in their lives. Help this person, and myself to have the right words to guide others, to point out how loving and trusting in you can only be for their good, and to do it without too much pushing as to not scare them from you. We love these dear friends and would like them to find the peace in their lives that we find in you.
Hear our prayer
In Jesus loving name
Amen
