A Prayer For A Friend...

My precious friend, we are worlds apart. I have tried to ignore you but I can't any longer. God has placed you on my mind, not only while I am awake but also in my sleep. I awake, and pray for you often. I cry for you. Though we don't talk, I feel your pain and I pray that you will feel God carrying you through your hurt. I have wept for your decisions you have made and for the love you desire to feel. I know that you are aware of me and that I want the best for you. I really do. I don't understand how life has gotten to this point for you but I can honestly say, that God has a plan and He can turn this pain into something beautiful. And I want to stand behind you, as you make decisions that will affect your life not only now but later as well. Please know that God loves you and my love I have for you, is because of Him. Our lives are different, our beliefs can be debated but we have common ground that gives me peace. We have been created in God's image and God has blessed us with little ones to love. I ache for you and my heart pangs when I think of the hurt and selflessness you are questioning. May you feel God's peace and His arms around you to strengthen you today and the next and...

You know carrying around hurt for a friend can be so painful, but it reminds us that we are human and NEED God. I pray that you will find peace as you lift your friend to Him in prayer.

You are such a precious soul to have a burden for those around you! I love that about you.

Oh my. I've felt the way you do. I've hurt for someone else who was a dear dear friend.. who's beliefs differed quite a bit from mine, but it seemed we were brought together for a reason and then pulled apart for another. I still pray for her often and will continue to do so even not knowing if God is answering my prayers.
