Lord, I lift up ××× to You and ask that You would bring godly friends and role models into his life. Give him the wisdom he needs to choose friends who are godly and help him to never compromise his walk with You in order to gain acceptance. Give me Holy Spirit-inspired discernment in how I guide or influence him in the selection of friends. I pray that You would take anyone who is not a godly influence out of his life or else transform that person into Your likeness.
Your Word says, "He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed" (Proverbs 13:20). Don't let my child be a companion of fools. Enable him to walk with wise friends and not have to experience the destruction that can happen by walking with foolish people. Deliver him from anyone with an ungodly character so he will not learn that person's ways and set a snare for his own soul.
Whenever there is grief over a lost friendship, comfort him and send new friends with whom he can connect, share, and be the person You created him to be. Take away any loneliness or low self-esteem that would cause him to seek out less than God-glorifying relationships.
In Jesus' name I pray that You would teach him the meaning of true friendship. Teach him how to be a good friend and make strong, close, lasting relationships. May each of his friendships always glorify You.
