Prayers
Thank You for the Gift of Friends
How richly You have blessed my life with friends, Lord!
How grateful I am to be so blessed!
Among the gifts that You have placed in my possession,
friends are among the most precious –
especially those whose lives You have woven
together in soul with mine:
Those intimate few
whose affection has become kindred spirits in You . . .
Those who, never failing, are “Always There”
to go through the valleys with me
as well as to share the mountaintop experiences . . .
Those who become sources of encouragement
rather than sermon-makers,
when I hurt, when I weep,
when I am disappointed, when I complain,
when I just want somebody “to hear” . . .
Those with whom I can be open and vulnerable
and allow myself to be real,
knowing that they understand how I feel
and “where I’m coming from” . . .
Those who love me as much as self
and who continue to stand in my defense . . .
Those who, knowing and loving me,
do not hold on to me and keep me for themselves;
but who, knowing and loving me,
are willing to give me growing and breathing room . . .
to release me,
to help me reach complete fulfillment,
to allow my life to touch other lives . . .
Thank You, Lord, for the gift of friends . . .
especially for those intimate few
whose souls are woven together
with mine
in You . . .
