Prayer For My Special Friend

Dear Lord, I praise and thank You for my special friend and the bond of friendship that has developed between us. Lord, it reminds me of the precious closeness that David had with Jonathan or of the deep affection that Ruth and Naomi built up between them, and I thank You from the bottom of my heart for this dear one that has become so special to me, particularly at this time of my life.Lord I lift up my dear friend to You and pray Your grace and love would surround and protect them and that showers of Your blessings would descend upon them. Lord I pray that they may grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and I ask that they draw ever closer to You with Your unbreakable cords of love and grace.Strengthen, encourage and unite us together more and more as together we become increasingly rooted and grounded in You. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ my Saviour,Amen.
