Pray With Me - Developing Healthy Friendships by Liz Polat - tangle.com

Developing Healthy Friendships

Father, help me to meet new friends-- friends who will encourage me. May I find in these friendships the conpanionship and fellowship You have ordained for me. I know that You are my source of love, conpanionship, and friendship. Your love and friendship are expressed through my relationship with You and members of the Body of Christ. According to Proverbs 27:17CEV, iron sharpens iron, so friends sharpen the minds of each other, may we find a worhty purpose in our relationship. Keep me well-balanced in my friendships, so that I will always please You rather than pleasing other people. I ask for divine connections ordained by You. Thank You for the courage and grace to let go of detrimental friendships. I ask to recieve, by faith, discernment for developing healthy relationships. Your Word says that two are better than one, because if one falls, there will be someone to lift that person up. Father, You know the hearts of people, so I won't be decieved by outward appearances. Bad friendships corrupt good morals. Thank You for quality friends who help me build a stronger character and draw me closer to You. I will laugh with those who laugh, I will rejoice with those who rejoice, and I will weep with those who weep. Instruct my heart and mold my character, that I may be faithful and trustworthy over the friendships You are sending into my life. Father,Your Son Jesus is my best Friend. He is a Friend Who sticks closer than a brother. He defined the standard when He said in John 15:13, Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Thank You, Lord, that I can entrust myself and my need into Your keeping. I submit to the leadership of the Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus. Amen
