Prayer:
God,
Thank You for being the perfect example of love, faithfulness, and truth.
Teach me how to model my friendships after You—
to love selflessly,
to listen with patience,
to forgive freely,
and to be honest with grace.
Help me to be a friend who reflects Your kindness,
Your consistency,
and Your compassion.
Guide me toward friendships that encourage growth,
speak truth in love,
and draw us closer to You.
When friendships are hard, give me wisdom.
When they are joyful, give me gratitude.
And in all relationships, help me honor You
by loving others the way You love me.
Amen.
Questions:
In our friendships, do we model Christ?
How do we study God whom we are modelling?
Are our friendships not self serving, not one way and do we need to rebalance?
Do our friendships show the world the love of God?
What can we do this week to show a friend how much they mean to us and to God?
