Some Great Prayers

I'm cleaning up my desk tonight, and need to get rid of some paper.
Sometime this semester, at one of our Tulane prayer gatherings a couple students wrote down these prayers; I thought they were worth sharing:

Lord, show us how to care about our friends. You have made us all to reflect Your glory in a wholly unique way; let us not treat our friends as commodities to be accumulated and managed. Our nonChristian friends are not missions waiting to be accomplished. Our Christian friends are not interchangeable support beams. Our friends are beautifully individual human beings who each bless our lives in a special way. Help us to see Your majesty in these differences. Help us to value the people You surround our hearts with.

Jesus, you are the ultimate friend! If only I could get even a glimpse of how to show that love to those around me! Father, as I seek to know you, I pray that what you've started up in me through relationship with you and through your word would manifest in my actions and my words. I give you my mouth. I surrender my tongue to you, for it is the most unruly member of my body. Put a coal to my lips that my words may glorify you to those around me. Father, open my mouth that I may speak life to those who are in my life. It's about you! It's not about me!
