Proverb 18:24
Value of a Good Friend
24 One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
We often look at material things to make us happy and give us pleasure in life...But having a good friend outweighs the happiness and pleasures found in material things...Stores do not sell the joys of life...Happiness can come and go, but the value of a good friend brings one cheer and blessing...Friendship is one of those values of life...
And sometimes a friend needs prayer...And in Helen Steiner Rice’s Prayer for a Friend, she speaks of the value of a friend and the value of prayer for them:
Stores do not sell,
I must confess
The joys of life
That cheer and bless,
But friends and prayers
Are priceless treasures
Beyond all monetary measures
And so my friend,
I say a prayer
That God will keep
You in His care…
