Friendships

God made us to want and need deep friendships. But some friendships get easily tangled up in comparison and competition. Some friendships lack healthy boundaries. Some friendships need a tune-up. This six-day devotional will show you what is needed to have healthy, deep, and meaningful friendships. You will be encouraged in your existing friendships, and you will see what friendships may be more harmful than healthy.

This is a 21-day Bible reading plan that helps us meditate specifically on passages related to evangelism and is accompanied by a short prayer for each day for our friends.
