"Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor: 10 If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up"

- Ecclesiastes 4:9-10


I Add Great Value to My Friends.


I thank you Father for blessing me with the right relationships in my life.


I thank you for giving me friends that are aligned with your plan and purpose for my life.


Only friends that will build, sharpen, encourage, support, chastise and bless me will come into my life.


I thank you also for those friends that are yet to show up in my life but who will come in due season for the accomplishment of your will in my life. Thank you for godly friends who have a deep longing to do only will.


I know that my friendships and relationships are for a higher purpose. Indeed, two are better than one, therefore I declare that I and my friends achieve more through our union. We deliver better results and accomplish more in our families, work, business, ministry, and marriage because of our friendship. We build each other up with our words, knowledge, skills, faith, wisdom, insight, and ability.


I declare that because we are in each other's life - growth, progress, peace, excellence, and prosperity will be evident in our individual lives. I refuse to tear my friends apart with my words and through my actions. I will not let bitterness, anger, and pride take an upper place in my friendships.


My heart is not hardened towards my friends, and I will rather pursue things that make for peace and always speak the truth to my friends in love. Thank you, Lord, for blessing me with friends who challenge me to be better and friends who drive me towards my God-given destiny.


I refuse to have or accommodate friends in my life who encourage laziness, idleness, complacency, and an ungodly lifestyle. I thank you, Lord, for like-minded friends, purpose-driven friends, and vision-oriented friends. We build each other up in our daily conversations and interactions. We lift each other in our moments of uncertainty.


We encourage each other to keep moving and never give up on our journey of purpose. We support each other as we walk towards achieving our dreams and being who God has called us to be. We are a gift and blessing to each other every single day of our lives. Amen!
