Prayer for a Fractured Friendship

Lord,
You know the bond I once shared with Deana—the laughter, the trust, the sense of sisterhood I believed was true. And You know the sorrow I now carry, the questions without answers, the words I wish I could say, and the ones I fear I might.

I don’t want bitterness, Lord. I don’t want resentment to take root where love once lived. But I also don’t know how to move forward when my heart feels so guarded.

Help me lay this burden down at Your feet. Help me release the need for explanations I may never receive. Let Your peace fill the cracks where confusion now dwells.

If there’s still purpose in this relationship, show me how to walk wisely toward healing—with boundaries, honesty, and grace. And if it’s time to let go, then help me do so without anger but with peace, knowing I loved well and held on as long as I could.

Heal what I cannot fix. Guard my heart as I navigate this pain. And remind me that even when people fail me, You never will.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
