Reflect
Every human being needs camaraderie and friendship. We are simply not made to walk alone. But it’s all too easy to fail to reach out for connection when we need it most. May this prayer compel you towards communion with another.
Pray
Holy Trinity,
you have not created me
for loneliness or disconnection.
I confess my need
for my fellow human beings,
knowing they have so often been
your tangible presence
in my life.
God of communion,
give me the wherewithal
to reach out
to a friend today
and find the connection
my heart needs.
Amen.
Act
Think of one friend you would like to connect with this week. Contact them today and make a plan to have a long conversation, either in person or over the phone, in the next few days.
