Fellowship

I can't help but think that we need prayer --- lots and lots and lots of prayer.

When I look around in my fellowship, I thank God for giving me such a welcoming, caring, respectful, fun and unique bunch of brothers and sisters.
Yet at the same time it's apparent that we have so many needs. When we look around in the fellowship, it seems that we are all dealing with some tough things: Job changes, career aspirations, marriage, developing relationships, health, the well-being of family, church life, moving homes, Christian service, difficulties at work....

We need love, guidance, peace, and strength. We need encouragement... But we can't get any of these things from ourselves. We recognize the need to have these things, and we wish dearly for our brothers and sisters to get it, yet we don't know how to give it to them.

As January ends, and as we move on from this topic of "Relationship between Brothers and Sisters", let's remember to keep this in our prayers, put our fellowship into His hands, and also ask that He teach us how to support one another.

May God be our strength.
