I think sometimes when I say this it sounds so trivial compared to what some other people are going through and needing prayer for but I have something going on I would like help praying about. I was friends with someone at work for nearly a year and now this person has decided he doesn't want me even talking to him. He will give me no specific explanation as to why. He says he doesn't owe me one but says it is nothing I have said or done. I am female and thought perhaps that it was a male/female problem. Also the person is suppose to be a preacher. I really miss my friend and would like things back to the way they use to be. So I guess I'm hoping for a reconciliation you could say. I know I'm leaving out the bulk of the details on what all has been said but I think I've given enough information.

This is not at all trivial. I had a really trivial need (want, acutually). I wanted to get this notebook that matched my Lisa Frank purse. I didn't put it on this site, but I considred it. Guess what? My family bought it for me--and later a matching pencil case. Only God knew that desire. Relaitonships are far more important!

Lord, I pray you will repair this relationship. Whatever the cause for the rift, let it be clear to IBurgess. Or if that is not important, just let this man be her friend again. If it is a male/female awkwardness, let him explain that to her, rather than just ignore her. I pray You comfort her in this matter. I know it can be really tough to think that other person (membr of opposite sex) has expectations that you don't. But I pray, if that is the case, he has the courage to express that to her. I know I struggle with this, but some way you have to express it, rather than just snub the person. Help him see that this is not the Christian way. Telling the truth in love, even if you think you will hurt the person, is better. I pray You work on his heart, so he will explain what is going on to her. If it is some other thing--some fault he holds against her--let him clear the air, so she is not wondering. Lord, I pray You comfort her in an extra specail way at this time. Father, I pray, in Jesus Name, amen. JeriRose

I have a friend on my heart, too. We worked together at the last restaurant I worked at. She tried to manage for a while, but financial struggles forced her to quit. Now, I never get to see her. The Lord knit us together in such a specail way, and I miss her. She called once and said she would never forget me--but I want to see her! I want a relationship! A prayer for us to reunite would be SO appreciated. Her husband came here from Korea and is living in her house (they were separated quite a while), and, for some reason, she thinks she can't have me over to her house with him there. Then, why can't she come to my place? I know she works about six days a week and goes to college about three nights....But I want her back in my life!

Thank you so much for praying about this. I will keep the matter of you and your friend in my prayers as well. And pray that the two of you will be able to see each other somewhere. My friend also got a promotion at work and several people think the job has gone to his head but things were fine with us for two months after he got the promotion before he decided he couldn't be my friend anymore. And then on top of that when I last tried to talk to him just trying to forget about the other conversations we had and be casual with him he basically told me not to talk to him unless it was work related.

Things seem a little better between my friend and me. He actually smiled at me today but still not talking to me. So please continue praying about this with me. Hopefully my prayers are beginning to be answered.

Lord, I pray this relationship continues to heal. We had a good report from Damascus_girl about improvement in her broken friendship. I pray that you conitnue that healing, and perform this one as well. Lord, fellowship with another Christian is something special. You do not want Your children at odds. I pray You continue this work. Make it so much more than a smile. Even if it is because their the oppisite sex, he could explain to her. He could find some way. We have seen You move in situations within days of them being posted here, so move quickly and mightily and completely. Thank You, Lord, amen. JeriRose
