A Prayer for Friendship
A Prayer for Friendship
Help me, O God, to be
A good and true friend.
To be always loyal, and
Never to let my friends down;
Never to talk about them behind
Their backs in a way in which I
Would not do before their faces;
Never to betray a confidence or
Talk about the things about which
I ought to be silent;
Always to be ready to share
Everything I have;
To be as true to my friends
As I would wish them to be to me.
This I ask for the sake of
You who are the greatest and the truest of all friends,
For your love’s sake,
Amen.
