Prayer Request for my friend
Please pray for my friend ( I don't want to mention her by name because even though she would never see this website you just never know and she would be mortified if she knew I was doing this). She is extremely depressed and suicidal. Her life has been one big trauma - death of father to cancer/suicide of brother when she was a child, rape, teasing in school, self-esteem issues. She is mid-30s now and has struggled tremendously for all these years. She does not believe in God, in fact to quote her "I know there is no God and I resent anyone trying to change my mind." The really sad thing is that there have been times when I have said something about God or the bible or something I have seen on utube that was about God that she has been interested in. At those times, her depression seems to get even worse and I truly believe that it is Satan trying to make sure that she never finds peace and healing in Jesus. I know I cannot help her, only Jesus can so would you please pray for her, for strength and peace and a softening of her heart to God. Thank you so much.

My Precious Sister in the Lord,
WOW!! What an awesome friend you are! I humbly accept your offer to pray for your friend. I can't even begin to imagine or understand what she's gone/going thru. I think it's definately God's protection over her to have a friend like you beside her. I believe God will strengthen you and council you on how and when to help her. I thank God for your mercy and tenderness towards your friend. God's blessings to you and your friend! Cyndy OH...remember to gird yourself up in the full armour of God...satan won't take too kindly to you praying for her!! -

Father God,
I know Your heart yearns after all of us. There is no one that You would not run after. This prodigal has not ever felt Your presence or acceptance. Only You know why her valleys have been so long and the shadow of death has been so deep. I trust You, Lord. Tanya trusts You. God, make a way where there is no way. Melt her resistance, Lord. Touch her spirit, her mind and her emotions God with the breath of Heaven. Send in Your angels to defeat the Enemy's forces so that the lies she has been told are exposed. You are able to do exceedingly more than we can ask or imagine. God, I have an expectant heart because there was one point where things were impossible for me.
God, You alone work wonders. You alone are worthy of all praise, honor and glory. I praise You for You are exceedingly great. Remember we are dust and temporary and life passes all to quickly into disrepair. Remember her while she is young so that her life may be a testimony to Your mercy and grace. Make her a full member of the Family, Lord. We want to include her as a sister, God. Remember also Lord that our faith although it is small, it is alive. You said if we had any real amount of faith, we could see mountains move. I believe that is true. What is lacking, you create. I am excited to hear the report of Your hands reflected in Tanya's friend.
I'm asking this for You, God because of what JEsus did for us. He came to seek and save that which was lost. Confident that this is in Your will, I will wait.
Amen -

Tanya
I was going through the prayer requests and I did pray for you and your friend this morning. You are a good friend to her. Keep doing what you are doing. When the opportunity arises mention God or something from the Bible that would fit the need at the time. Over time she will realize that people care and that God loves her and died for her. Only God can change her heart and bring her peace to her troubled life.Remember with Jesus battling satan beside us, satan does not have a chance. He may try to discourage us and put a thought that God does not care into our mind. When this happens go to the Lord in prayer, read the Bible and contact friends including this site to support you. Max Lucado's book Fearless is also a good resource for encouragement. -
