PRAYER FOR A FRIEND

Snippet

At last I slipped into something I knew was a dream. Chris 

and I were swimming at White's Beach, a gravel-pit in 

Brunswick. . .And then his head went under, his reciting 

mouth filling with water. He popped back up, crying: 'Help

me, Gordie! Help me!'

Then he was dragged under again. Looking into the clear 

water I could see two bloated, naked corpses holding his 

ankles. One was Vern and the other was Teddy, and their 

open eyes were as blank and pupilless as the eyes of Greek statues. The Body by StephenKing  Chapter 19:

Scripture

Poverty and disgrace are for the one who ignores 

instruction,

but one who heeds reproof is honored.

A desire realized is sweet to the soul,

but to turn away from evil is an abomination to fools.

Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise,

but the companion of fools suffers harm.

Misfortune pursues sinners,

but prosperity rewards the righteous. 

Proverbs 13:18-21 NRSV

Lord, I lift my friend to You, I've done all that I know to do

I lift my friend to You

Complicated circumstances have clouded his view

Lord, I lift my friend up to You

I fear that I won't have the words that he needs to hear

I pray for Your wisdom, oh God, and a heart that's sincere

Lord, I lift my friend up to You

Lord, I lift my friend to You

My best friend in the world, I know he means much more to You

I want so much to help him, but this is something he has to do

And Lord, I lift my friend up to You

'cause there's a way that seems so right to him

But You know where that leads

He's becoming a puppet of the world, too blind to see the strings

Lord, I lift my friend up to You

My friend up to You

Lord, I lift my friend to You, I've done all that I know to do

I lift my friend to You

Sentence Prayer

 Lord, I lift my friend to You, I've done all that I know to do

I lift my friend to You

Complicated circumstances have clouded his view
