Proverbs 13:20

Walk with the wise and become wise,
    for a companion of fools suffers harm. - Proverbs 13:20

Dear Jesus,

I have seen in my own life how my friends have influenced me for good or evil.  I remember being led by you to make new friends that would help me in my spiritual life.  Please help my children and grandchildren to get the truth of this word, so they will choose good friends that will guide them not distract them.  More than anything else, make them your friend by pulling their hearts close to you in devotion and prayer.  Open their eyes to see wonderful things in your word for their comfort and spiritual strength.  Lead them in the paths of righteousness in every relationship they experience. 

Amen

One good friend is worth more than a hundred shallow fans.
