Hi everyone.
This is my first time writing on the Prayer Requests forum, and I felt that God directed me here for everyone's healing hands.
This title is hurting friends, and indeed, I have friends hurting, but I also am seeking out wisdom from God on how to help, console, and react to my friends as well.
I have a wonderful best friend, whom her and her husband are struggling through their marriage. This has been going on for awhile, and she told me that last night she told her husband Brandon that she wants to live alone for awhile. She feels like she needs to find herself and needs to be alone for awhile. They both are not Christian, so they didn't make a bond to marriage Christians do. I feel as though my friend (Rose is her name) is very justified for her wanting space, I've seen my friend go from a free-spirited beautiful fun-loving person, to a very sad woman who has lost all her spirit. As you can see, I'm very torn.
I ask you all to pray for them. Pray they make the right decisions, pray that Brandon fights for his marriage, and pray that God puts hand over them and helps them in whatever way they need. I ask that you also pray for me and I am wise in what I say, and I want to be there for Rose, but am not sure what to do. She's like my sister so what I really want is to just make everything better, but I know that's not logical.
Thank you all so much. I really love this community.

Agreeing with you in prayer for them, in Jesus Name.

And praying for you, with much love and a gentle spirit, and in declaration:

Eph 6:19 ...for [you], that utterance may be given unto [you], that [you] may open [your] mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
Eph 6:20 ...that therein [you] may speak boldly, as [you] ought to speak.

In Jesus Name, Amen.

If you would please pray / declare the same scripture for me in your prayer time, I would really appreciate it.

Heavenly Father, I pray for a mantle of evangelism, intercession, and authority to fall upon Kristin Lord, right now in Jesus Name. Amen.

Bless you. Let peace and grace increase and multiply to you. In Jesus Name, Amen.
 
Praying in agreement with you in Jesus Christ is Lord!

God bless
