Heavenly Father,

I come before Thee with a humble and searching heart.

Thou knowest my loneliness, my hopes, and my desire to belong among those who love Thee and strive to follow Thy Son, Jesus Christ.

Please guide my steps to people who are filled with faith, kindness, integrity, and charity. Lead me to a family—whether through friendships, my ward, future relationships, or other opportunities—where Thy Spirit dwells and where I can both give and receive love.

Help me recognize those whom Thou hast prepared for me, and give me the courage to build relationships founded on trust, respect, service, and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Protect me from those who would lead me away from Thee or bring contention into my life.

Fill my heart with the gift of discernment, that I may choose companions who strengthen my faith and help me become more like the Savior.

Bless me to be the kind of person who reflects Thy light—someone worthy of righteous friendships and a loving eternal family. Help me forgive where needed, let go of past pain, and trust in Thy perfect timing.

I know that through Jesus Christ, no faithful soul is ever truly alone. Help me feel Thy love each day as I wait upon Thee with patience and hope.

I dedicate my life anew to following Thee.

Please open the doors that Thou wouldst have me walk through, and lead me to those who will walk with me in faith toward eternal life.

In the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.
