0:04.0	Thank you for listening to your daily prayer, a podcast dedicated to helping you find the words
0:18.1	you need to connect with your Father in heaven.
0:21.2	No matter what's going on in your life today, you can trust that God
0:24.7	wants to hear from you. Right after the short word from our sponsor, we'll pray
0:29.5	through today's prayer for a broken friendship, written by Alicia Surrell, read by Leah Gerard.
0:57.0	My command is this. Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.
