Prayers for Kids About Friends

For good friendships — and the hard days in between.

For my friends

God, thank you for my friends. Please keep them safe. Help me be a friend who's kind and honest. Amen.

Jesus, being left out really hurts. You know how it feels. Please heal my heart and help me find one good friend. Amen.

Father, please bring me a friend who loves you too. Give me courage to say hi first. Amen.

Verse to remember

“A friend loves at all times.”

— Proverbs 17:17

Parent tip

Ask your child, 'Who at school could use a friend?' — then pray for that kid together.
