God Is Our Best Companion
Making sense out of life isn’t easy
as the preacher of Ecclesiastes
thinks his way through what he
has seen and experienced in life.
Every enterprise he has undertaken
from acquiring wisdom to amassing
wealth, has ended in emptiness.
In a sudden burst of emotion the
preacher realises that God indeed
appoint the times & purposes of life.
But his insight fades as he focuses
on the futility of life under the sun
and overlooks the One who alone
can put life into a meaningful whole.
Lord, thank You for Threefold Cord:
Two people can accomplish more
than twice as much as one; they
get a better return for their labour.
If one person fall, the other can
reach out and help (Eccl 4:9-10).
And on a cold night, two under
the same blanket can get
warm from each other. But how
can one be warm alone? (v11).
Though one may be overpowered
by another, two can withstand him.
And a threefold cord cord is not
quickly broken (Eccl 4:12) Amen.
Lord, I thank You for the friends
You have brought into my life:
For those who bring joy & laughter;
For those who bring comfort & care;
For those who inspire & spur me
to be what You created me to be.
For two people are better than one
for they help each other succeed.
Above all thank You Christ Jesus
my Saviour and Best Friend. Amen.
Lord, grant my spouse and I will
seek to meet mutual needs & have understanding love for each other.
Grant us Lord the grace to live with
each other in peace and harmony.
May we bear each weaknesses and
grow from each other’s strengths.
Help us forgive each other’s failings
and grant us patience and kindness.
Grant that the love that brought us
together grow steadily over time
& bring us closer to You Lord. Amen
Lord, thank You for the people
who supported me in tough times.
Help me to see those around me
in need of support even if they looks
like they are surrounded by people.
Boost my marital relationship Lord
with U in the center, in Word & love.
And I invite You Lord into every other
relationship in my life and seek Your
guidance in decision-making. Amen.
