The reason why I chose to use this video clip is because it definitely reminds me of being a friend. I think the meaning of this song to me is telling people that you are a friend to others and explaining how to be a friend. I think this song is a great example on my them friendship.
You have blessed us, O God,
with the gift of friendship,
the bonding of persons
in a circle of love.
We thank you for such a blessing:
for friends who love us,
who share our sorrows,
who laugh with us in celebration,
who bear our pain,
who need us as we need them,
who weep as we weep,
who hold us when words fail,
and who give us the freedom
to be ourselves.
Bless our friends with health,
wholeness, life, and love.
Amen.
The type of prayer that is used is thanksgiving. I think that this is also a great example. The meaning of this prayer is thanking god for all the friendships and all the people that love one another.

Help me, O God, to be
A good and true friend.
To be always loyal, and
Never to let my friends down;
Never to talk about them behind
Their backs in a way in which I
Would not do before their faces;
Never to betray a confidence or
Talk about the things about which
I ought to be silent;
Always to be ready to share
Everything I have;
To be as true to my friends
As I would wish them to be to me.
This I ask for the sake of You who are
the greatest and the truest of all friends,
For your love’s sake, Amen.
