My name is Alycia, it means truth.  When I was young I didn't like my name, I wanted it to be my mom's name, Kathleen, so that's what I told people when I was five years old.  I was raised in the church... I truly desired a relationship with God, but I gave up because I never felt good enough; I always felt condemned and that I did not have a place to belong, at church or at home, I believed a lie.  In my teenage years into adulthood I dealt with cutting, suicide attempts, anorexia/bulemia, cigarettes, alcohol, drug experimenting, immorality, divorce, educational acheivements, miscarriages, social climbing, living in the future, living in the past... going to church, I most always went to church.  I had finally had enough of myself, nothing was getting me out of the pain I was running from.   Feeling broken, crushed, and hard hearted - I

Jam 2:23  And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “And Abraham believed God and it was credited to him a s righteiouness,” and he was called God’s friend

Jam 4:4  You adulterous people, don’t you know that friedship with the world I hatred toward God?  Anone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God

John 15:13-14  Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.  You are my friends if you do what I command

 

Dear Jesus, Thank you that you are a friend to us at all times.  I pray Kelly would find that friend in you and that you would teach him to be a friend as well as acquire an earthly godly friend to show him your ways.  I pray Kelly would come to understand that a man of many companions will bring him to ruin but  a friend sticks closer than a brother.  I pray Kelly will believe in you and that you will credit it to him as righteouness and that you will call him your friend.  Father, I pray against him being a friend of the world because anyone who chooses friendship with the world is an enemy of God.  Jesus you said that no greater love can a man have than to lay down his life for his friends.  I pray that Kelly would heed your commands, so that you would call him your friend.  Thank you that you are willing to come to our aid and show us what true friendship looks like and that you help us, aid and assist us to obey your commands and thereby call us your friend. I pray, ask and petition you to bring friends into our lives that will stick closer than a brother.

 

In Jesus name,

Amen
