Abba, Father, my loving Daddy, I give to you my lost friendships, those relationships I have treasured and now mourn. Save me from self-pity and self-loathing. Save me from repeating past mistakes and sins. Save me from resentment and bitterness toward those who turn away from me. Save me from unwillingness to trust and be honest with friends in the future. Save me, and heal me, in Jesus' name, amen.
Wow, that's amazing - I haven't checked out your prayer blog in quite a while. Decided for some reason to do so this afternoon - I've been going through the exact same emotions, dealing with the loss of a friendship I never thought possible to lose. Thank you for giving me words to pray.
