H My best friend and I have been close for over 15 years, ever since we were kids. I was raised in a Christian household but didn’t actively practice my faith, while she was raised in an atheist household with no religious background. Throughout my ups and downs in my Christian journey, we’ve mostly avoided discussing religion to keep things comfortable between us. However, over the last two years, I’ve grown much deeper in my faith and have felt a strong desire to open up about it with her. I’ve been hesitant, though, fearing it might disrupt the connection we’ve always shared. I also have a daughter, and in my conversations with my friend, I can sense how much she needs God’s presence in her life and how her struggles could be lightened by Him. I’ve shared my experiences as a new, devoted follower of Christ, and she’s listened. We’ve had some conversations about my journey, and I’ve done my best to answer her questions. Lately, though, she seems to have more and more questions, and I’ve been praying for guidance. I feel God telling me that now is the time to witness to her and help her find the right path. Just today, she showed me what she got my daughter for Christmas—a beautiful Bible with coloring pages. She’s traveling from out of state to visit, and as she spoke about how beautiful the Bible was and how excited she was to give it to my daughter, I felt an overwhelming sense that this is my opportunity. Now is the time to witness to her and introduce her to Jesus. I’m asking for prayers that I’ll find the right words to speak to her heart, and, most importantly, that God Himself will reach her, touching and moving her heart in a way only He can. I pray to be a vessel for Him, to do whatever is needed to bring Him into her life, and that she’ll come to know and love Him. I hope we can continue our beautiful friendship in a godly, uplifting way. Thank you for your prayers.
