Oh Lord

I wont lie, Im hurting a lot right now..=[ A friend of mine, a pretty good friend. Of my brother's, and mine for that matter...is telling people he is an Athiest..when for all the time i've known him growing up, and just...getting older. An Avid Christian.I was so proud of him and what was going on, but at the same time I was worried and i felt it coming...*Sigh* Lord give him strength to see who you are again. This happens to people....they walk away from God, they forget who he is and what he has done for them. and truthfully...what WE did to him..and by that I mean nails, pain, and death. I would ask that fellow Christians pray for my friend..I love him to death as a brother and im scared for him.. :(
I just thought id..rant a bit for that

Lord,
Thank you for the God that you are. and thank you for allowing me to believe, and grow deeper in the knowledge of you. I am so thankful that I am able to worship you. God I ask you to lift up my friend. Im so troubled for him Lord, and Im so scared this he wont see who you are. But Lord, you are in the business of saving people and you are also in the business of bringing people back to you. and I am so thankful for that.I am thankful that you have the power Lord, and I dont have to worry because you are in full control. I Ask Lord you bring people into his life, that make him sure that you are real again lord. that you dont allow this little time to ruin his testimony for you.
I ask that you allow me the words just to explain Lord. To show your love to him, and understanding that he wants. Lord I pray that he will be willing to listen and you give wisdom to the people.....Im so in love with you Lord. Help me that I wouldn't fall into the same traps more then ones...I love you so much Lord...
