In some prayers i have it prays for deliverance from harmful friendships

I dont know but ive had this non-Catholic friend since we were young kids,we live very close to each other

It seems we always get up to no good when we spend time together

we have been through drinking together ,smoking together alot,tobacco and marijuana,getting involved in Occultic stuff,stealing ,vandalising ,break-ins,now we when get together we go gambling

I am sick of going on the wrong path

My family has decided at some stage we will sell our house and move far away,and for me the sooner it is the better,

I plan on cutting ties with all the people in this neighbourhood

Anyway thank you for praying for my wellbeing
 
Prayers for you, but while you’re waiting for The Big Move, why not try to get engaged in more wholesome activities, such as sports, community events, church events, and the like? Then when the old “friend” calls you to hang out and do whatever, you can honestly say you’ve already made other plans. Eventually, this person will give up and go find someone who wants to go gambling or whatever.

Better yet, why not ask your friend to go to church with you, and start praying for his soul?
Do a little Christian witnessing. That will either attract him, or drive him away.
 
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death. Amen.
 
I agree pray for your friend, he can still be your friend but you need to distance yourself from him when he is doing the things you mentioned. When you do move be careful who you make friends with, so be strong and keep your eyes on Jesus.
 
Lord, please help Paul theApostle to keep away from bad friends and all occassions of sin. (name removed by moderator)ire him to spend his time doing spiritual reading and praying … he could even pray for his old friend. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
 
Yes a few months ago i was bringing him to adoration ,Rosary and Mass sometimes

He likes adoration

but lately ive stopped going and we havnt been going anymore

I am not involved in any Parish activities,i was a while back when i found a very active Parish with a great Priest and there were alot of events happening but the Priest left the parish and i havnt found another parish that is active like that one,the churches around my neigbourhood are like ghost towns ,always closed ,nothing happening ,hardly any young people attending ,no activities.and when i go to Mass,i dont end up talking to anybody
 
Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
 
Yesterday i went with the boy in his car ,which doesnt happen often,and he took his V8 which is very powerful.

He drove very dangerously and fast going very much over the limit at times,he even got into a rage with another car and cut him off and overtook him in the bicycle lane

i got out and went straight home rejecting his invitiation to sit and have a can of whiskey in his backyard

Today i have switched my phone off and plan on keeping it off alot more so he cant reach me by phone

If anyone prays for me to be delivered from this boy ,you will doing me a great favor

btw i was bashed by him also when we were young and i still have trauma over it
