Adding & Subtracting

Some friendships grow stronger, and some friendships dwindle to the point where they don't exist anymore. While I appreciate the former, I always agonize over the latter, wondering what did I do that's causing me to have to chase after them, but then I remember the prayer I recite every now and then;

"Dear Lord,

Please add to my life, people who would be looking out for my welfare, and who can help me to be the person You and I want me to be, and please subtract from my life people who could care less if I lived or died.  Amen."

I don't worry anymore.

I'm taking solace in the fact that God is answering my prayers.  And I'm appreciating those friends I don't have to feel like I have to chase.
