A – The longing for others in our lives goes all the way back to the garden.  It is God’s desire and character for relationship and community.  This is in us as well.  God equips each of us with a wonderful, healthy desire for others in our lives.  This comes with challenge but the positives far outweighs it.  Everybody needs somebody.

R – Heavenly Father, you are our master craftsman.  Thank you for the relationships you have put in our lives.  We need you to be the center of all of the relationships.  Thank you for those in our closest circles who speak life, truth and love to us.
