Dear Heavenly Father, You created us to be social beings and You designed us to build up special relationships and friendships with those that pass along our way, sometimes family members and at other times strangers that simply walk into our lives or cross our path, and who remain bound up with us for the rest of our time on earth.
Lord, I lift up those who do not have any special friend or who desire to have someone significant or important in their lives, not simply as a marriage partner but a friend, a kindred spirit, a special person with whom they can build up a trusting relationship, and who will share in their joys as well as their sorrows. Look down in pity on those that have such a longing in their hearts and give them the desire of their heart, so that together they can encourage and edify each other in the faith, and unite together in praise and worship with the God who in His loving-kindness drew them into each others lives. I ask this in the precious name of Jesus,
Amen.
