Prayer for Friends
Lord Jesus Christ, while on earth you had close and devoted friends, such as John. Lazarus, Martha and Mary. You showed in this way that friendship is one of life's great blessings. Thank you for the friends that you have given me to love me in spite of my failures and weaknesses, and to enrich my life after your example. Let me ever behave toward them as you behaved toward your friends. Bind us close together in you and enable us to help one another on our earthly journey. Amen.
