I'm in a tough situation with a friend right now who has asked for time to themselves and I'm having a rough time not viewing it as a form of punishment for being a cruddy friend and person in general...will you guys please pray for the situation to be healed and for me to not think this way anymore?

Thanks so much...

Here are some of the prayers I pray, thought I'd share these few with you.
I hope you might find some use out of it. If it seems too much for you then just read a little bit at a time if you want. Take it or leave it, it is your choice. No one is trying to force you into reading anything. Forum are here for providing discussion and information. Use what you want out of it. You don’t have to be overwhelmed by long postings. This here granny is notorious around here for the past 5 years for long postings, please forgive me. Just relax and go at your own pace.

God Bless.

======================

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
according to "His" Holy Word and "His" Holy Will.
I surrender my will to Yours Lord.
Transform my thoughts to your loving thoughts, Lord.

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O, Lord, grant that I may not so much seek to be counsoled, as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in surrendering our spirit to Yours that we are born anew.
Day by day, moment by moment, second by second.
You will be done, Lord,
Your words I speak, Lord,
My will is surrendered to Your will, Lord.
In so doing comes your definition of healing,
Your definition of peace, Your definition of Joy.
I give my all to You Lord,
Thank you Lord for the assurance of Your promises to come.
Your Faith in me, Your Hope in me, and Your Glory through me,
Come Lord, come.
I want to know You Lord,
Your mind, your love
I want to walk with You Lord, daily.
Teach me Your ways and your word so I may walk it.
when I fall, you raise me up with your love, mercy and grace to carry on.

Restore me in Your ways, Lord,
Your Holy Spirit come live in me through me
In the name of Christ Jesus Holy Spirit.

Amen.

==============================


And I wrote this verse a long time ago, thought I'd share this with you also.



People! they abandon! But you oh Lord, you never do that to me!
You are there when I come running to you with tear filled eyes!

Even if I turn away from you, YOU patiently wait for my return
to vow to you to sin that particular sin no more,
only by your grace be it done, through my obedience to your word.
You know Lord, that I am only but a child in your eyes,
You know Lord, that when I trip up and fall
that I will eventually get it right
given Your mercy and grace to get by!
Your patience is so awesome!
So wonderful!

You are the best love,
the best daddy
I'll ever have!
Thank you for Your mercy and grace to live by.

Jesus suffers not those that are His. He does not abandon us, He accepts us and is a friend to us all, to help us come to know the love of the Holy Spirit that is that same One who is In Him.
He does not run from us when His Holy Spirit convicts us of a sin we have fallen into, He helps us to overcome the sin, not run from it. There is no abandonment from you Lord, And In You I can only count on! Your Holy Spirit comes with loving conviction of sins, which leads us to repentance. For it is in repentance the turning way from my old ways, to walk in the new ways of Your Will that I am then a new creation In Christ's Holy Spirit. Thank you for giving me a new path to follow. Your rod and your staff they are my discipline and my guide. Your loving protection is there not to lead me into temptation of evil but to deliver me "from" it. Lord create in me a deep yearning to seek after Your heart, to stay in Your word, I want to know you Lord. Thank you for Your Word. IT is food for my soul. Without it my spirit is malnourished.
Thank you Lord for your Holy Spirit. I pray to not grieve the spirit, to follow Your will. Pick me up when I fall and carry me when I'm tired. Others fail me, but You Lord are there for me. I will place my trust in You. Thank you for your loving arms of comfort when my eyes are filled with tears, I run to You my loving Holy Spirit Father.

Amen.
 
Julie,

It is understandable you might question your friendship and the strength of it at this time. However, take heart, and try not to be discouraged. We all go through difficult times. Maybe there is a chance that perhaps this friend of yours is going through some trying times and just not ready to share with you. Will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

May God Bless You

Danielle
 
I'll pray for this. I can somewhat understand how you feel. Hang in there, Sis! :-)
