A prayer for a special friend

Why not make this alternating prayer for a special friend your own response? This is a prayer to pray for a special friend: Lord, protect and instruct her heart. Let Your Spirit minister to the depths of her spirit, Keep her from all beguilements and distractions. Watch over every detail of her life and relationships. Lead her, use her, guide her, protect her – at home, at work, at night, in prayer. Let Your anointing compensate for her weaknesses, Your comfort make up for her inadequacies, and Your power be at work from this day forward in her life. Sustain her in her moments of frailty, and strengthen her longing to serve You. Scatter foolish thoughts and vain regrets; inspire her with Your purposes. Direct her to the people and the projects that will bless her most and reap a harvest through that which you have sown in her life as Your glory shines through her. In Jesus' name, Amen.
