We thank you, Father, for our companionship which is a symbol of friendship that surpasses boundaries and backgrounds. We thank you, too, for the opportunity to share in each others’ lives.

Bless us with the courage to grow together to overcome the obstacles and injustices in our divided world.

Father, we ask you to help us to learn from each other, so that we may become better people, loving and serving, for your greater glory. A threefold cord is not easily broken and therefore we pray that you would be the cord to strengthen our relationship.

Merciful Father, bless our humble initiatives so that they may bear everlasting fruit.

We make our prayer through Christ your Son.

Amen
