Prayer For Friends & Close Relationships

After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before. Job 4:10 (NIV) God we lift up all our relationships to you today. Forgive us for the times we’ve missed the mark in our interactions and give us a heart to forgive those who have done the same to us. Help us to forgive others when they drop the ball. We acknowledge that we are human and don’t always get it right. Even when our intentions are good, we can fail in our efforts to meet those we love at their place of need. We repent for every time when we’ve misread what was happening in the moment and spoke anything other than what was inspired by you. Forgive us for when we’ve tried to comfort, but in error added more sorrow. Help us to forgive ourselves and others. We ask that you love our friends and family through us and love us through them. Let all that we do and say be pleasing in your sight and in alignment with your will. We seek your face for reconciliation of all relationships that were severed prematurely. We pray for a release of all that has been held up due to our disobedience and false narrative of the events in our life and the lives of others. We pray that you protect and cover all of our relationships. May you get the glory in our connections. As Job’s life was restored after he prayed for His friends, we pray for restoration in every area of our life. We surrender to you and yield our heart to be a vessel for you. Pour into us and fill us with your love as you release your bountiful blessings from above. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon
