Lord, today I pray that the things our children choose to imitate from their friends would be the pure, innocent, kind, lovely, excellent things. May they choose to reject for themselves the ugly, unkind, lazy, rude or coarse things. I pray you would come to mind as they choose, and if they don't know you, then may the desire for good lead them to you.
Philippians 4:8

Older & Younger
Even now, Lord, may my child know the importance of having friends who are older and friends who are younger.
People to watch and learn from, and people to set an example to.
May she have mentors worth following and may they be aware of their responsibility in her life. May she understand that those who follow her are given by God for her to love and be kind to.

Old Friends & New
I pray that she would have enough love in her heart that she can grasp how to hold onto old friends and still make room for new ones. May she be a friend to all just like her dad was - a friend who challenges to new heights and is a good influence.
At the same time, may I not expect her to be mature beyond her years. There are things I pray that she develops.

Camp
She's been at camp all week; I pray the things that the speaker has said and the way her cabin leaders have lived this week make an eternal impact on her. May camp be a tool to draw her closer to you and for her to see your heart. May being in nature open her eyes to your beauty everywhere. May she build lifelong friendships there.
Thank you for our camp and for the way you use it to draw people to you. Holy Spirit, work in her there today.

Friends and Fools
May she understand the difference between not hanging around with fools, as we've been reading in Proverbs, and being a good influence on someone.
Help her to recognize and see the times that she needs to stay far from someone, and to know when backing away is bieing a good example to others.
May she be a good friend, loyal and wise.

Confidence
Lord,
Give her the ability to set boundaries and realize she has the power not to allow meanness to get to her. May she be confident in who she is and what she'll allow in her life. May she never use her confidence and power to make someone else feel small or worthless. May she be part of the solution, offering friendship willingly to those who need safe friends.
