Dear God,
Thank you for the gift of friendship. For the people who walked beside me, share in my joys and lift me in times of need.
Help me never take them for granted, their laughter, their love and their presence. Bless them for their kindness they show, for the comfort they give and for the memories we share.
May I be as faithful a friend to them as they have been to me. Let our bond grow stronger, rooted in love, trust and grace.
in Jesus name I pray, Amen
