The Fallacy of a High Friends Count—A Nighttime Prayer


“A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” —Proverbs 18:24

Please Pray:

Heavenly Father, I’m so grateful for the gift of friendship and the true friends You have blessed me with. Thank you for the influential friends You placed in my path for specific reasons and for seasons of life that only You knew I would need them for. Having true friends on this side of heaven is just a glimpse of the faithful, loving, and personal relationship I have with You. I pray that I would never take these friendships—especially Yours—for granted. Help me to be a friend who sticks closer than a brother in my closest relationships. Show me areas in my life where my behavior doesn’t reflect my relationship with You. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
