Daily Share-a-Prayer w/e 30/11/2025

Monday 24th November
Heavenly Father, some people may say that I am lucky or fortunate, and I am; but there is far more to it than that; I am greatly blessed, for I am surrounded by my family and friends, who love me and support me in the most difficult of days. When I am down, they come to visit me, stay with me, sit with me, often in silence, but also talking with me. Thank You. It must be so difficult living life without the support of others, when there is no one to share successes and failures; no one with whom to "chew the fat" as a friend of mine asked to do the other day
Conversation, as well as travel, broadens the mind. Thank You for those who share new ideas and perspectives, helping me to understand different viewpoints. There are often deep and challenging conversations, but really, a lot of our chat is rambling, searching for the Truth, which of course we find in Your Word. And a lot of our talk is about past events, shared memories and recollections. And a good deal of it is nonsense, sharing jokes and funny thoughts
Thank You, Lord, for all those relationships that enrich my life; thank You for old friends, new friends, acquaintances becoming friends, and strangers, friends I haven't yet met. And thank You especially for my friendship with You, through Jesus. I find in You everything I could ever ask for in a good friend. And I find that most of my best friends know You as a friend too
Lord, help me to be a blessing to others, to be a good friend, and in time to introduce You to those who don't yet know You
Amen
