Broken friendships

Prayer Spaces at Home and a Prayer for broken friendships

Friends sometimes argue and this is normal. But when friends say or do mean things and hurt each other the friendship will be at risk unless they apologise, forgive each other and work things out to strengthen their friendship. 

This prayer space is called Broken Friendships.

You will need:

  • Blank paper
  • Pen or markers
  • Drawing pins
  • A notice board or wooden cross
  • Think of someone who has a broken friendship. (It could be you and your friends or someone else you know).
  • Write or draw the two people’s initials onto a paper person. 
  • Pin the paper-people to the notice board (or the wooden cross). Write a reflection or prayer for them to forgive each other and sort things out.

How to use this space

God speaks to us in many ways, including through prayer at home. Here you will find useful background and activities to better understand how to pray, helping you to connect with God in your daily life in a meaningful way.
