Proverbs 18:24

A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who stays closer than a brother.
A man in a checked shirt praying in a church, hands clasped together.

Lord, help me be the kind of friend who sticks closer than a brother. Teach me loyalty, faithfulness, and sacrificial love in my relationships. Guard me from shallow friendships that lead to harm, and draw me into deep, godly connections that honor You. Let me be a true and lasting friend to those You place in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
