Ecclesiastes 5:9,10a, “Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their efforts.  For if either falls, his companion can lift him up.”

Have you ever taken time to say a prayer of thanks for your friends?  I am blessed to have some great friends.  When I fall, they are there to pick me up and brush me off.  My friends are the first to listen to me and say, “Amen!” But, they are also close enough to call me out when I cross the line.  When I am having a hard day and struggle to see God in action, they are there to show me how much God cares and is with me in all circumstances.

[A prayer to consider] Thank you Lord for friends and how they help me.  Please give them wisdom and strength as they deal with me.  I pray that I can be as good as a friend as they are.
