Help us, O God, to be a good and true friend, to be loyal and never to let our friends down: never to talk about them behind their backs in a way that we would not do to their faces; never to betray a confidence or talk about things we should be silent about; always to be ready to share everything we have; to be as true to our friends as we would wish them to be to us. This we ask through the vine who is the greatest and truest of all friends, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (Adapted from a prayer by William Barclay)
