“I’m thinking of you. ” “I’m sending positive thoughts. ” “You’ll be in my thoughts. ”
“Sending good vibes. ” “I believe in you, and know you’ll get through this. ” “I really hope that everything works out okay. ”
“I really feel for you. ” “I’m so sorry that things have been tough. ” “I can see that this has been really hard on you. ”
“I’ve got your back. ” “You can count on me for whatever you need. ” “I care about you. ”
You can also say things like “I’ll be glad to” or “You don’t have to ask twice. ” If you’re juggling multiple prayer requests, log them in a notebook to keep track. After you pray for your friend, let them know. You might say, “Just wanted to let you know that I prayed for you. I’ll keep you in my prayers for as long as it takes to get through this. "
“A friend of mine is dealing with a death in their family. Can you help me pray for them?”
“Thank you for trusting me enough to share this with me. ” “I’m grateful to you for confiding in me. ” “I know it’s hard to talk about these things, but I’m glad you did. ”
“What else can I do to help you out?” “Do you need some help around the house while you’re dealing with this?” “Anything I can do to ease the burden?”
“I know you’ll do great. ” “I’m cheering you on from the sidelines. ”
For example, you might know a doctor who can give their ill family member a second opinion.
“How have you been coping?” “Are you doing okay?” “What’s your headspace been like recently?”
