A prayer for our friends
Merciful Father,
Thank You for the friendships You have brought into our lives and for blessing us. I pray, Father, that you would grant us the strength to support each other through trials, tribulations, and triumphs. Lord, help us be patient, kind, and understanding when facing life's difficulties. May we always be there for one another with a non-judgmental ear, a listening ear, and a comforting presence that reflects your love and mercy. Guide our hearts to forgive and forget any wrongs, to have the grace to foster a stronger bond each day. Let our friendships reflect Your love, bringing joy and peace into our lives and Your glory, love, and mercy.
In the precious and lovely name above all names, Christ Jesus, Amen.
HAPPY CHURCH DAY
Father, you are the provider of all good things. I pray you will bring gospel friendships into my life. I pray you would open my eyes to see people who need me to be that friend for them. Help me to be the friend I desire and long to have.
AMEN
