Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for my friend.  Thank you for the woman that she is.  Thank you for her heart.  Thank you for her desire to follow and love you.

I pray that you will continue to sustain her and heal her from being sick.  I pray that her body will recover from illness and her strength and energy will be restored.

I pray that you would speak to her heart this week.  I pray that through focusing on you she would be reassured of who she is – your beautiful and cherished daughter.  I pray that she would hear you tell her how proud of her you are, like she did before.  I pray she would remember that your love for us doesn’t change.  I pray she would see your work in her life, and recognize how you are making her into a beautiful thing.

I pray she would have peace about who she is, and know that the people in her life appreciate her more than we can express.  Show her encouragement through people who love her, and have her see that these are coming from you.  I pray that she would feel like the beautiful person she is, because she was and is being molded by you.  I pray that she would see that she brings so much good to the people in her life, and that she would know she is beautiful because you are working through her.
