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.
