A prayer for a good friend

Dear heavenly Father,

     We thank You for Your faithfulness to us.  And we thank You for Your love!  While we have been unfaithful to You, You still sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us.  We stand in awe of Your love, grace, and great mercy!
     Tonight, we ask for Your divine intervention in a good friend's life.  He needs You, Lord!  His life is being shattered as we cry out to You.  He is hoping and praying for the first time in years!  And we are hoping and praying with him, Lord God!  You know his situation Jesus.  And You know what needs to be done.  And we know that You are the only One who can save this relationship.  Lord, we know that it is not Your will that any covenant relationship or family be tore apart.  And tonight, those are the stakes.  This is what we are praying for.  We ask that You intervene in a way that only You can to heal these broken hearts, save these lives, bring hope back to this relationship and family, Lord God!  Restore this covenant relationship to a level which it has never been before!  We ask that as You rebuild this broken family, you cut away the garbage that has worked its way into this marriage.  We ask that You break the ties between those of this marriage and those that seek to destroy it.  Lord, what makes this request even more urgent than ever, is that there are children involved!  We know that You already know that, God.  But this is just the cry of our hearts, Jesus!  According to Your own words, "let no one split apart what God has joined together".  You are the only One who can heal and restore this home.  Please help my friend!  Please help his family!  Bring healing and restoration to his home, Lord Jesus.
     We thank You for hearing our cries and being there to wipe our tears.  We thank You for loving us just the way we are.  And we thank You for Your patience with us as we fumble through this life until we learn that You, alone ARE the Way!  Thank You, Lord.

Amen
