Prayer For New Friends
Lord, I know that this must grieve Your heart so much more than mine and so, by Your grace, I pray that whatever it takes that You would draw them back to Yourself. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, who died that we both might live, bring back this straying sheep to Your fold and into Your arms of love. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
Loving Father, I have a friend whose character is being attacked and falsities are being said about them. I am concerned for them, as this is a difficult and painful thing to face, but I am also concerned that the worry of all that is going on in their life will be detrimental to their health.
I pray that You will give my friend Your peace that surpasses comprehension, and that in Your time and Your way You will diffuse this unpleasant attack. I ask this in Jesus' name,
Amen.
Keep me from negative talk about people, from dishonest speech, from pride and perversion. Forgive me for these vices, and make me like You, walking in integrity day by day. Grant me favor and make me a magnet for godly people so that I can grow my circle of friendship to one that gives You glory and much joy.
In Jesus' Name
Amen
Lord, I am asking You to deepen my friendships. My season of life has changed, and I need an upgrade where my friends are concerned. I appreciate the friends I have had through the years, but I am longing for a godly friend who will walk with me towards the life to which Jesus has called us.
Would you please lead me to a new friend? One who fits all the criteria David outlines in Psalm 101; one who seeks Your ways? Make me worthy of one such friend by being that very kind of person myself.
Dear Lord, teach me to love others the way you first loved me. As I build relationships with others, let them see you in the extent of my generosity, the authenticity of my kindness, and the depths of my love. All of those things are only possible through you, the God who abides with me and calls me friend. Amen.
Lord, I am grateful for my spouse. I am grateful for our relationship. I am grateful for the person that I have become. I am grateful for the person that you will transform me into. In Jesus' name. Amen
This is my prayer for you dear friend, that the Lord will make a way for you where there seems to be no way. You will walk on the highway of greatness. Instead of curses, you shall be greatly blessed. Your little efforts will yield great results and your mouth shall always be filled with songs of victory.
Dear Father,
I treasure my wonderful friends so much. Thank you for their presence in my life. I ask that you would watch over them and lead them into hope and blessing. I trust that you will protect and hold them when life is hard. Lord, help me to be a good friend to them.
Amen.
