God, I long for deep friendships in this season of my life. I know You designed people to be in community with one another. Your Word says it is not good for us to be alone (Genesis 2:18). I would love to have other women around me who encourage me and point me to You. It can feel isolating and lonely to try to navigate life without trusted friends. I pray You bring people into my life who are seeking after You — people who I can have fun with but who are also willing to talk about hard things we are facing and to pray for one another. Teach me first how to be that friend to others. Show me where I can meet women like this. Help me overcome my fears, insecurities, and hurts from past relationships. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Lord, I know my concerns are not far removed from Your attention. You are close to me in even my most broken moments. Whether it’s fear of the future up ahead or worry for the day I’m in right now, would You meet me in this place? Would You comfort me? Would You guide me through these fears and feelings? God, I know You’re here with me now, so reveal Yourself to me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
