A Prayer for Being There for a Friend

Phrase-maker, Word-giver, who created languages and invented expression, fill me with your right words of comfort and love, especially for ____________, who needs your peace and guidance right now. May I be your message bearer to my friend. May my phrases be filled with light and life. But also, help me recognize when my friend doesn’t need advice but presence.
