Father, thank you for friends and for creating a space for us to be in a relationship with you and each other. We pray our children find kind friendships where they build each other up and support one another. We pray they act with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience this year. Guide us as their parents to encourage all that in their hearts. As we plant these seeds Lord, help them grow and guide us to build community with other families.


In Your Name We Pray,

Amen
