Lord help me.
I've tried to keep myself in check and keep my thoughts and opinions to myself in regards to one of my best friends. Last night, I said things that I had to get off my chest.... and I regret what I said, and how I acted. I came across like an ass. I ignored her feelings, and went strictly with mine and my own selfish motives. This is someone who I've cared about for a long time. I'm supposed to be happy for her. Last night, I proved that I'm no better than her ex-husband. I'm selfish, self-centered, and just plain wrong, stupid, and not the friend I'm supposed to be. I do believe what I said to be true in my heart, but I had no right to act that way and say what I did. I know the situation, and I'm sorry, God. I'm very, very sorry. And I pray that I'll be forgiven by You and her.
I hate the feelings I have inside of me. I honestly believe that You put them there, but why do they make me hurt so bad? I hate my actions. Why can't I control myself. I don't know what to think. Lord, I really do believe that You let this friendship come back into being after years of hurt and anger. Why do I seem intent to kill it off, again? Why do certain things have to be said, or left unsaid, when it hurts the other person?
You've given me a good life, Lord. And I know you don't owe me anything. My friend has been good and forgiving to me in the recent past. I don't know how much more they can take of me being like this, but I don't know how much I can stand, either. Its hurting so bad.
I just want to know... are You letting this happen? If so, why? Please tell me, Lord.
And more importantly, God, let me be the friend to this person that I feel I should be (as long as its compliant with Your will). You once told me that I'd be there for them when they most needed me. Please let this remain true. Through it all, I feel I owe this to them. You know what's in my heart, Lord. Please.... help me figure out what's right in this situation, and help me, my friend, and our friendship to endure. And IF the time comes, IF it is compatable with your will, please let my one prayer be answered.
And Lord, if you could please answer this question/prayer, I would be most humbled. I wish I could hear it from you in words, but I don't know how to listen to you, anymore, I feel like. God, please. Help me.
I ask all of this in the name of your precious son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who died on the cross for our sins.

Dear Lord, please cover your child with your peace. Remind him that You have already forgiven him. Guide him and direct him. Give him the wisdom to know when to speak and when to stay silent. I pray for a resolution to the situation; help him to remember that Your timing is always perfect. I pray for the friend - place forgiveness in her heart for this person who obviously cares about her a great deal. Thank you Lord, for always hearing our prayers.
