Dear God, friendship is so strange. At times friends are fun, encouraging, good. At other times, friends are discouraging and pull me down. Help me to be a friend that is there for others, a friend who is loving and kind, who will speak words of truth and warning when necessary, who lifts up and prays for others. Give me friends who will do these things for me. All people need love and support. Please fill that need in my life with your presence and with the presence of good, biblical friends and loving family. Thank you so much. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
