Oh Lord, I pray for my dear friend
Who runs and kicks and hides
I want to see in freedom live
And not in Satan’s lies.
It hurts to see this friend of mine
With unacknowledged pain.
I have been there, know what it’s like
With things that were the same.
What wounds exist that cause the heart
To build walls large and strong?
Which causes none to penetrate
So nothing will go wrong.
I pray that you, dear Son of God
Would come and set one free
That you would open friend’s eyes wide
So that the heart might see.
What pain is there, what hurt from past
What things are there before?
What unresolved and unaware
Prevent an open door?
Lord I pray for healing and
For light to shine in face
That sight be giv’n, and heart made whole
As you pour out your grace.
Oh Lord I know, in my own life
The lies that I’ve believed.
Impacted they to partial life
The state that I did lead.
Your heart is large, your arms are wide
And you do not condemn.
Anyone can come to the cross
Which frees from any sin.
I long to see this friend of mine
Live freely through what’s true.
I pray that you will bring to friend
A heart and mind made new.
Also dear Lord protect my heart
From being too involved
Let me just pray, support and love
And trust you’ll catch a fall.

Thanks for sharing this, and thank you for reminding me that if I spent more time praying than questioning or complaining......
I pray that my friend's eyes would be open wide, and that she would rightly respond to Grace. And that my eyes would be open wide to see what Grace has done for me.
This is beautiful, Joshua. There's nothing more lovely or pure than seeing a genuine heart filled with love and compassion for someone cherished - so evident of God's own love to us. I hope that your friend learned to accept God's love as much as they learned to accept the love offered around them by friends like you.
