I’m looking for prayers to put in a little book for my very dearest friend but am not having much luck finding anything. Do any of you have any special prayers that you pray for your friends? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! God Bless all of you!!
 
What a nice thing to do for your friend! Well, I’d start with the Rosary and the chaplet of Divine Mercy. 😃 (If you need links to them just let me know.)

EWTN has a lot of prayers and novenas listed. I don’t know if any of them are specifically for friendship, but I’m sure any of them would be beautiful:

I found the following prayers when I did a google search:
A Prayer for True Friendship
Jesus, loving companion of Your children,
You have extended Your friendship to all.
You opened Your arms without discrimination,
Offering Your warmth to those seeking comfort.
Endow me with the virtue of such a friendship,
To know, love and trust all on an equal basis;
To share my patronizing without favorism,
And to be pleasant towards the destitute.
Fashion my heart to reflect Your qualities,
Those befitting of a cordial association.
Jesus, You showed me the way to true friendship:
Blessed is Your amazing and warm Person!
Father, I ask you to bless my friends reading this right now. I am asking You to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self doubting, release a renewed confidence in Your ability to work through them. Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I ask You to give them understanding, patience, and strength as they learn submission to your leading. Where there is spiritual stagnation, I ask You to renew them by revealing Your nearness, and by drawing them into greater intimacy with You. Where there is fear, reveal Your love, and release to them Your courage. Where there is a sin blocking them, reveal it, and break its hold over my friend’s life. Bless their finances, give them greater vision, and raise up leaders and friends to support and encourage them. Give each of them discernment to recognize the evil forces around them, and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat it. I ask You to do these things in Jesus’ name.
Of course, there are many passages in the Bible that are prayers themselves (especially in the book Psalms). If you have a few favorites, maybe share those as well.

God bless! 😃
 
Thank you very much. Those are very nice and I will definitely use them!

God Bless!!
