Prayer for sorority meetings

Our Heavenly Father,
We thank Thee for the privilege of meeting here as a group of sisters.
We are grateful for all our temporal blessings, but especially do we thank Thee for friends and for these sisters who are more than friends.
May the lives of all with whom we come in contact be a little happier and richer because of us.
Help us to grow in grace and worthiness in Thy sight.
Let our hearts be freed from all malice and pettiness and filled with loving kindness.
Grant that we may have a spirit of loyal friendship within our group and give us strength to practice the ideals of Alpha Sigma Tau in our daily lives
