When you really want to help a friend

This one is aimed straight at you, kids.  All week I’ve been praying for your friendships- that you would have friends who love God and love you, that you would be that friend to those you love. And I’ve seen that you do- you have great friends, and the loyalty runs deep.  So how do you protect the incredible gift of friendship? How do you help each other through the toxic culture and precarious choices that are all part of the growing up years?

Kids whom I love- pray for each other.  You know each other so well- you know each others’ struggles and strengths, you know the stories and the dramas.

And you know God, and he knows you.

No other gift you give will ever compare with the magnitude of power, the incomprehensible value of prayer.

“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.” (1John 5:14-15)
