Lord, help us to reflect on our lives and recognize the priorities that shape our hearts. As we navigate through friendships and the complexities of human connections, instill in us the wisdom to discern what is truly important.

As we walk this journey, we place our friendships before You, asking for Your guidance. Surround us with those who challenge us to grow, uplift our spirits, and encourage us in our pursuit of holiness. Help us to remember that each connection we nurture should draw us closer to You. We entrust our relationships into Your hands, Lord, knowing You will lead us as we prioritize Your kingdom above our personal desires. In Jesus’ name, we pray for strength, direction, and unwavering faith. Amen.
