To Bless My Friendships
Friend of Sinners,
I thank you for knowing me and for making yourself known to me. Not only are you my Savior and my God, but you also call yourself my Friend. As such, you are always available to me. You are concerned with my well-being and genuinely desire to spend time together. You speak to me through your Word and listen to my prayers. You are there for me.
Bless the friendships that I have with others in the same way. Thank you for those who have time for me and always seem to make time for me when I especially need it. Let me also make time for them in the same way. Thank you for providing others to listen and talk certain things through when I need it. Let me also do the same for others. Thank you for shared interests and rich experiences that provide outlets for leisure and enjoyment. Provide me with friends who highly regard their faith. But, also open doors to future friendships with those who don’t yet know you, but may eventually come to as a result of our friendship. When I consider the qualities of friendship that I value and desire, help me also exhibit those qualities myself. Help me to be the friend to others that I want to see in others.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
