With your permission I would like to share a prayer from my personal journal.
“Jesus,
Who was Your friend?
I know you had a lot of followers,
and the twelve who shared the ministry,
but who was Your friend?
Who was the one person
with whom You could let your hair down,
where You didn’t have to watch every word
or meet someone’s unending expectations?
Where did you go when You had to get away,
but You couldn’t bear to be alone again?
“Was Lazarus that special friend for You?
I think maybe he was.
“I started to pray,
‘Give me a friend like that,’
but I thought better of it.
Instead, I pray,
‘Let me be a friend like that.’
Amen.”
This is Richard Exley straight from the heart.
