Prayers for Friends Encouragement

When we pray for our friends, we often ask for their health and happiness. But have you ever considered praying for their spiritual health as well? Asking God to guide them towards righteousness not only shows our care for their overall well-being, but it also reflects our trust in His plan for them. We may not know the challenges they are facing or what paths they will choose, but by praying for their guidance, we remind ourselves to have faith and trust in God's plan for them.

Dear Lord,

My friend has been struggling lately. They have choices to make that are difficult. As they face these choices please help and support them to make the right ones.

Offer them solace under your protection and encourage them to find the strength within themselves that they sometimes doubt exists.

When they feel weak, please pick them up and carry them so that their rest is not in vain.

Heavenly Father, please comfort them when they feel they have nobody to turn to. Help them see that everything will be okay under your sacred teachings and steer them to the path of righteousness.

God, your perseverance to help others is relentless, and I thank you each and every day for helping us fight our daily battles. 

Lift my friend out of despair and provide them with the tools they need to stay healthy and remember how loved they are.

Empower them with your support and encourage their souls to be whole. Help them understand the difficulties they face.

Amen.
