Prayer For Encouragement For Acquaintance

Dear Father, I treasure my wonderful friend so much. Thank you for their presence in my life. I ask that you would watch over them and lead them into hope and blessing. I trust that you will protect and hold them when life is hard. Lord, help me to be a good friend to them. Amen.


Lord, I give you (name) and thank you for them. I thank you for everything that they are And for all their gifts and talents. I thank you for the many things that they have given to others And for all the kindness that they have shown me. Lord, at the beginning of time You breathed Your life into creation May you breathe Your life into them now So that each step they take is filled with Your faith Each thought they think is filled with Your hope and each moment they live is filled with Your love. May they fully know Your life And fully live in Your love This day and every day Amen


Almighty God, We bless you for our lives, we give you praise for your abundant mercy and grace we receive. We thank you for your faithfulness even though we are not that faithful to you.

Lord Jesus, we ask you to give us all around peace in our mind, body, soul and spirit. We want you to heal and remove everything that is causing stress, grief, and sorrow in our lives.

Please guide our path through life and make our enemies be at peace with us. Let your peace reign in our family, at our place of work, businesses and everything we lay our hands on. Let your angels of peace go ahead of us when we go out and stay by our side when we return. In Jesus' name, Amen.


Heavenly Father,

It is so hard to watch _________ suffer. It doesn't seem fair for her to have to endure so much pain. Even though I am powerless, I believe that you are powerful and capable of stepping into this situation and completely altering the outcome. In faith, I am responding to the promises in your word that you listen to our prayers and those prayers can make her well. So, I am bringing my friend before you to ask for your healing touch in her life. Thank you for the forgiveness of sin and the promise of eternal healing, but I am asking you to provide healing for her on this side of heaven. Amen.


Dear Lord,
I pray for my friend right now. I pray that you will help them with the struggles they are going through in this season. For you know exactly what they need in this moment. Draw near to them and let them feel your presence. Open their eyes, ears, and hearts to you. Help them have the discernment to hear your voice as you lead them in their next steps. Speak to them as they read your word and bring verses of encouragement and comfort to their attention. I pray that you will calm any fear or anxiety they may be feeling. Replace it with the confidence to obey your word and to trust you. I pray that your guidance will be clear to them from this day forward. In your name, I pray. Amen.


Oh God, I've seen the beauty

of Your righteousness and Your holiness.

I resolve to seek the truth,

I'm determined to love You.

Verse 1

Please open the eyes of my spirit,

let Your Spirit touch my heart,

so that I throw off all that's negative,

so that nothing and no one can hinder,

so that I lay my heart bare before You,

fully devoted, devoted to You.

However You may test me,

I yield completely, completely to You.

Pre-chorus

I give no thought to my future,

I'm not bound by death.

With a heart that loves You,

I seek the way of life.

No matter what, I must gain You.

I will not rest until I've gained You,

I am determined to love You.

Verse 2

Oh God, everything's in Your hands.

You control my fate and my life.

Now, I resolve to pursue You,

I'm determined to love You.

And regardless of whether You

allow me to love You or not,

or how Satan interferes,

I'm truly determined to love You.

Pre-chorus

I give no thought to my future,

I'm not bound by death.

With a heart that loves You,

I seek the way of life.

Chorus

No matter what, I must love You.

No matter what, I must gain You.

I am determined to love You.

Bridge

I am willing to pursue You and to follow You.

Though You may abandon me, I still want to follow.

Whether or not You want me, I'll love You,

and in the end I must gain You.

I offer my heart, and no matter what You do,

I will follow You my entire life.

Chorus

No matter what, I must love You.

No matter what, I must gain You.

I am determined to love You.

No matter what, I must love You.

No matter what, I must gain You.

I will not rest until I've gained You,

I am determined to love You.

Dear Lord, teach me to love others the way you first loved me. As I build relationships with others, let them see you in the extent of my generosity, the authenticity of my kindness, and the depths of my love. All of those things are only possible through you, the God who abides with me and calls me friend. Amen.
