FRIENDSHIP PRAYER
& PRAYERS FOR A BEST FRIEND

Friendship Prayer

--here is my favourite prayer for a friend -
I think it speaks volumes, and those of my closest friends that I have chosen
to send it to, have all been deeply touched by the words:

Prayer for a Friend

I will pray for you, my friend.
I will name you in my heart before God and ask all His blessing be upon you.
I will be concerned for your rising and your daily mood.
I will be sympathetic to your personal needs and desires in each day of your
life.
I will wish you well in your learning, or your work, in your domestic round and
your leisure.
I will think of you at the close of each day and pray that God’s peace be with
you.
If you have been especially kind or helpful to me then I will make my gratitude
known to you.
If you are in trouble or difficulty of any kind, or simply tired and worn down, I
will do all and anything I can to lift your spirits.
I will ache for you in your sorrows and disasters and rejoice with you in your
joys and triumphs.
I will love and care for you as I love and care for myself.

A Friend's Prayer

I don't need your wealth; I need your warmth.
I don't need your judgement; I need your forgiveness.
I don't need your opinions; I need the truth.
I don't need your lessons; I need your laughter.
I don't need your personality; I need your purity.
I don't need your entertainment; I need your presence.
I don't need your knowledge; I need your wisdom.
I don't need your recognition; I need your compassion.
I don't need your acquaintance; I need your friendship.

My Wish For You

When you are lonely
I wish you love.
When you are down
I wish you joy.
When you are troubled
I wish you peace.
When things are complicated
I wish you simple beauty.
When things are chaotic
I wish you inner silence.
When things look empty
I wish you hope.

"The true friend is the one who’s coming in the door while everyone else is going out.  Friends are the ones who love you when you’re hard to love, stand by you when it’s not the popular thing to do and are there for you when you need it, even if it means they don’t get anything back."
