How Healthy Friendships Can Inform our Relationship With God - A Nighttime Prayer

And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend. - James 2:23

Please Pray:

Dear Lord, I admit that sometimes I don't know how to talk to you. I have a hard time believing the God of all things would want to be my friend. But I know you do, because your Word says so. Teach me to be a better friend to you. I want this aspect of our relationship to continue to grow. Help me apply what I've learned about healthy human friendships to my relationship with You. Give me boldness to talk with you like Abraham and Moses did. I want to be counted as Your friend. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
