5 Prayers for Friends – Strengthen your friendships by faith!

The Bible says, in Proverbs 18:24, that there are friends closer than brothers. This could not be more true: friendships strengthen and make us happy. And that’s why our hearts are saddened if something doesn’t go well with a dear friend.

Praying for your friends is the best way to ask the Lord, the Saints and the guardian angels for help to light the way for these dear and fundamental people in our lives. Using your faith to intercede for your friendships is a show of love and affection.

Below, you will find 5 prayers for the friends we set apart to be said when you realize they need to be covered with divine blessings.

Prayer for a dear friend

“Dear God, you loved me so much and helped me in every time of need I faced. I want to thank you first of all for always being my biggest support, the one who gives me courage and shows me that unconditional love only exists with you. Thank you, God, for everything you’ve done for me, for forging me into the mature person I am today.

My prayer today is not for me, God, but for one of my great friends who is going through an extremely difficult time in his life. He’s a good person, you know that well because he knows each of us intimately. However, his good and kind soul has been changed in recent times by the bad situations he has had to face.

Today I beg you, God, to show him the way back to you, because he needs your refuge and your shelter. Show him God, of unconditional love, of your support, that you are always there. Don’t leave him alone, God, I beg you, because he deserves a lot of good things in the world, despite this difficult time in his life.

Amen.”

Prayer for a friend’s health

“Merciful God, yours is the kingdom of heaven and the souls of all humans on earth who faithfully worship you. I come to you in times of greatest need and you have always helped me, God, because your mercy has no limits.

Today I pray and ask for my friend, because his health has deteriorated largely due to an illness that attacks him. I ask you, God, to give him your mercy and help him to overcome this evil that so afflicts him and deteriorates his life, that of his family and close friends. Give him the opportunity to live fully in the company of the people he loves most.

I ask you, God, to improve his health and give him the strength he needs to overcome his illness. He has the support of all the people who love him and I know his love surrounds him and protects him. Bless him, give him your unconditional protection and let him emerge victorious from this disease.

Amen.”

Comfort Prayer for a Friend

This prayer is dedicated to Archangel Azrael, who is responsible for leading souls to God. The name Azrael means “God is my help”, so he will be able to bring peace and comfort to the heart of the friend he needs. This angel helps to overcome the past and see the future with a new perspective, giving courage for this new stage.

Prayer to Archangel Azrael can also be said to comfort friends who are grieving the loss of a loved one.

“Azrael, hear my request! Azrael, here I call you and ask you!
Illuminate my soul, stroke my heart.
I trust you (name of friend + name of person who died),
because I know that in your lap
will go towards God.

I know you comfort me,
and that by my side you and he walk,
and that my joy
is the greatest proof of gratitude
that I can give you.

Angel Azrael, thank you for taking care of me.
I know that my Guardian Angel is guided by you,
and that in your light my heart
finds peace and a reason to live.
‘Cause God is eternal and eternally waits
for all your children
who meet in Heaven.

Glory to god in the highest
and peace on earth to men whom He loves.
Amen.”

Prayer to make peace with friend or friend

“Dear God, today I speak to you with a sad heart and emotions on the surface because I feel that one of my most important pillars, my best friend, has walked away from me and abandoned me.

You have brought us together under your sacred blessing because I know that you only put in my path people who bring me good and teach me valuable lessons in self-improvement and personal love. However, I feel that the person with whom I forged an unparalleled friendship has moved away from me.

God, I ask you to return my friend to my life, because I really need your presence, your advice and your joy. Break all the doubts, deceits and lies that caused our friendship to be destroyed in the first place, because they were all created by the devil to break one of the most beautiful bonds you forged in my life, Lord.

Keep away from my life and yours all the malicious people who want to drive us away, inventing baseless lies, just because they are jealous of our connection. Open my friend’s eyes and let him see the heartfelt bond that unites us and allows us to be better people for each other. I’m there for him, tell him so with his love.

Amen.”

Prayer to strengthen friendships

“Lord, make me share life with my friends.

That I be everything for each one of them.
May you all give my friendship, my understanding,
my affection, my sympathy, my joy,
my solidarity, my attention, my loyalty.

I accept them and love them as they are.
May I be a powerful refuge and a faithful friend.
Make us stay united, for our eternity.
May this friendship always flourish like a beautiful garden,
so that we can remember with gratitude.
May we all be accomplices in good and bad times.
I ask that you continue to guide, support and protect us.

Lord, thank you for the friends who turn my life into light and joy.

Amen.”
