Making New Friends
Father, I am asking You to supply me
with good friends I can relate to, spend
time with, and enjoy as You intended.
I desire to develop relationships that will
be lasting and helpful to both me
and my friends.
Father, I will keep sound-minded, self-
restrained, and alert-above all things I purpose
to have intense and unfailing love for
others, for I know love covers a multitude
of sins [forgives and disregards the offenses
of others].
I ask You to help me manage my behavior
and attitude so others will want to be
around me. I purpose to bridle my tongue
and speak words of kindnes. I will not
insist on having my own way, and I
will not act unbecomingly. When someone
is unkind and falsely accuses me, help
me to maintain a cool spirit, and be slow
to anger. I commit to plant seeds of
love, and I thank You for preparing hearts
ahead of time to receive me as a friend
and as a blessing to their lives.
Father, thank You for causing me to find
favor, campassion, and lovingkindness with
others.
Thank You, Lord, for my new friends.
In Jesus' name, amen.
