第八天 结交敬虔的朋友

第八天 结交敬虔的朋友

为儿子祷告

主啊，我把×××高举在你面前，求你将敬虔的朋友与好的楷模带入他的生活中。赐他所需的智慧能选择敬虔的朋友，帮助他绝不要为了赢取别人的接纳而妥协离开你的道。赐我圣灵启示的洞察力，使我知道如何在选择朋友的事上引导、影响他。我祷告求你除去他生命中任何有不良影响力的人，或是改变那个人使他更像你。

你的话语说："与智慧人同行的，必得智慧；和愚昧人做伴的，必受亏损。"(箴 13:20)不要让我的孩子成为愚昧人的同伴；使他能和智慧人同行，更不因和愚昧人同行而遭受亏损。拯救他脱离一切个性邪僻的人，使他不去效法那些人的行为，不使自己的灵魂陷在网罗里。

当他心中因失去朋友而哀伤时，安慰并带给他新的朋友，使他们之间有联结、分享，使他成为你要他成为的人。挪去一切孤独或者自卑，使他不再寻觅那无法荣神益人的友谊。

我奉耶稣的名祷告求你教导他明白真实友谊的意义，教导他如何做别人的好朋友，建立坚强、亲密、持久永续的友谊。愿他的每一份友谊永远都能荣耀你。

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.
