A Prayer For a Friend

March 18, 2011

Lord, again, I’m amazed on how “you work things out for our own good”.

Lord I am amazed on how You are working in our lives, and how Your goodness shines forth…

Lord, I am humbled and thankful on how You sees and knows our needs long before we even ask…

Lord I am awed that Your plans are better than ours..

That in time Your answer may seem to us a resounding “no”, You have said “no” because You have better plans and beautiful plans. Your denials are always Your mercies...

Lord, thank You, thank You so much. For allowing “those times” in our lives that made us “see” who You really are.

Unfailing love, righteous Father, just and Holy... You are above everything we could think or imagine…

My heart is full of joy, knowing that we can always Trust and Hope in YOU.

That we can rely on Your Word, even though many times, we fail…

Whatever is Your will... Lord, I pray to give us a heart that says “amen!” “Thy will be done!”

I will surely miss my friend and our friendship… but I will joyfully thank You... that there is someone like him that I’ve known...

Lord keep him under the shadow of Your wings, watch over him, strengthen his faith, may it persevere when He is being tested in the fire... may his faith would shine forth as “gold when tested in fire”.

Lord I pray that when trials and persecution will come, he will endure because You are his “strength, the strong Rock and fortress”.

May he always be thankful and see “beyond” the circumstances and he may always “find You with him, always with him...”

I will surely miss my friend... I know and believe that You’re up to something bigger than him, bigger than life...

May he find all the answers he was looking for in YOU.

AMEN
