Father God, I ask that you remove people around Z who are not in his best interests in the long run.

Christ Jesus, I ask that you intervene and soften his heart towards me.

Father God, please send the holy spirit to intervene in this situation. I lift my situation up with him to you. Please remove all people around him who are obstacles to our friendship or talk against me. Send these people far away. Restore this situation to the state it was meant to be in, the purpose for which it came in to my life. Bridge gaps between us, fix communication between us.

In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
