A Prayer About Relationships

A prayer about Relationships - Praising God for family and friends

ALMIGHTY GOD,

As I begin this day, I praise you for all the people you have brought into my life who have loved, cared for, taught, disciplined, directed, mentored, and encouraged me. I have been blessed by men and women who showed what true believers look like and spoke your Word into my life. You have used them to shape me. They have nurtured me, modeling your values, teaching life skills, and cheering me on through so many important experiences. Good friends spoke truth to me, keeping me on the right path. Educators and coaches taught me in class and out. Teachers, pastors, and older church members showed me how to understand and apply the Scriptures. You have favored me with too many others to list. By your grace, I have become the person I am today to a large part because of them all. Thank you, Lord, for loving relationships through all these years.

After David had finished talking with Saul, he met Jonathan, the king’s son. There was an immediate bond between them, for Jonathan loved David. . . . And Jonathan made a solemn pact with David, because he loved him as he loved himself. 1 Samuel 18:1, 3
