The Blessing of Friendship Across the Years - A Nighttime Prayer

“A friend loves at all times.” – Proverbs 17:17 (New Life Version)

Please Pray:

Dear Lord, we thank you that Jesus is our Best Friend. However, we’re incredibly grateful for the friends we’ve made along the journey of life. You support us through them. Many times you guide us through their words of wisdom. You comfort us through their hands and hugs. They add fun to our years as they make us laugh, even when things are hard. May we be the kind of friend others treasure. Help us to be sensitive to their needs and compassionate in caring for them. We thank you for the diversity of our friends. They are precious in your sight and in ours. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
