\"PRAYER<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We want to say a prayer for a friend and for our loved ones today. You find a great prayer for friends below. The old adage has been proven true over time. Show me your friends and I will show you who you are. Jesus in some ways was an anomaly to this rule. He was a friend of sinners, a friend of the downcast and downtrodden. He remembered those who were long forgotten by the rest of society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He found a place at his table or at the tables of those who had long been marginalised. The key factor in all of this is that he had a greater friend in his father. This is to whom he turned to for guidance, for surrender, for help in his times of need. This is the man from who he got his authority from. Beyond this, the 12 disciples were his friends. These were his loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were people who were loyal to the vision, the one who would carry it further than Jesus Christ himself did physically. They took it to the ends of the earth, with most of them choosing to lose their lives for the gospel. Lord send us such friends. Lord give us vision. Lord give us friends and loved ones who nurture and build our vision with us. Friends that would help us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a great analogy by Dr Myles Munroe<\/a>, termed the \u201comelette principle\u201d. If you mix one rotten egg together with a bunch of good eggs. The resulting omelette will be overcome by the smell of the rotten one. Think about that for a minute. Who are the rotten eggs in your circle? Who is bringing in that foul smell to your omelette? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God has not called us to lives in solitude, to be islands. We are rather called to be collaborators in sharing and expounding the gospel. The scriptures are packed with examples of great men who have had or needed friends to walk this life with. King David had Jonathan.  Say a prayer for friends and for close family members. If they are going through a difficult time, prayer is perhaps even more essential. We all need a friend.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

in John 15, Jesus asks that we would abide in him as he abides in us. That is the purest form of friendship. The vine dress, that he is comes with a healing touch. Our church family is one vine of which we are a part of. We feed on it, as we feed into it. True friendship is filled with love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
