Psalm 27:10 Deut. 31:6, Psalm 68:6
HIM: Praise God that He is Jehovah-Raah, your Friend. Thank Him that He is your closest friend.
THEM: Pray that the lonely would be able to see a family in our church that they want to be a part of. Ask the Lord to allow us to help people struggling with loneliness and we would show them that true friendship is when we can find a friend in Christ.
US:
Pray for Pastor Joy as she organizes and delegates different area of ministry.
Pray that the Lord would provide us with the people to fulfill different areas of need in ministry.
Pray that the Lord would continually fill her to overflowing as she pours into so many others.
Pray for physical, emotional, and spiritual endurance as she runs this race at full speed, never looking back.
Pray for steadfastness as she blesses her family by being a God-honoring wife and mother.
YOU: Am I turning to God in my times of loneliness? Am I seeking God about what the root of my loneliness is? Do I know that God has a desire to fellowship with me and seeks my friendship? Am I taking opportunities to love others the way I’m supposed to?
HIM: Thank God that we know we have a friend in Him and we never have to be alone.
As I reflect on this devotion I am challenged by what I do when I feel lonely... Do I turn to God or the people that Love me? mmmnn?
ReplyDeleteTo me it's almost funny because I'm rarely alone. I even had the argument with myself "how can I be lonely if I'm married?"
Truthfully, I have an amazing wife, family and Church!!! A book full of promises of a God who never leaves my side...
I don't want to have to remind myself of that; I want know it, to feel it, to live it...
My heart breaks for those that don't have that assurance ....
