✝️🕊️Beside You🕊️✝️
(Ephesians 5)

Father in Heaven,

I pray in Jesus Christ✝️ name as Your Holy Spirit dwells…

Lord, teach 👍🏾us🕊️ what it means
to walk beside one another rightly.

Without pride.
Absent fear.
Without misunderstanding.
Yet beside each other
Let our choice be You✝️,
Our⛪️ one and only thing
we have in common
in 🕊️ fellowship,
in ⛪️ light,
in the kind of Christian camaraderie
that honors You✝️.

Your✝️ Word in Ephesians 5
Reminds us of our walk:
in God✝️’s Love,
as children of light,
wisely,
carefully,
with understanding
of what Your✝️ will is.

So let our fellowship reflect that.
Warmth of comfort,
from prayers of hope
Wholesomely expressive,
but holy all the same.
With You in common,
may our doctrine and theology
keep us Close,
So that Our ✝️ Father’s work
found in Temple Hills, Maryland
Is never lost by sons or daughters

God✝️ ensure that our generations
Through what we have received
Are kept clean.
Encouraged.
Ordered.
Strong enough to help,
gentle enough to preserve,
and wise enough to know
that how we walk with one another
is part of our witness that
signifies our fitness
to move the church forward

Furthermore Father, it proves
that camaraderie is possible
among those to our left
and our right
Towards eradicating
undue pressure or fights
Yet edification through ministry
that does not compete,
but supports.
Clears confusion,
and clarifies.

Let us know how to stand beside one another
in truth,
Like, the only way to get to know 🕊️ her
Not just a specific 🕊️ situation
But something of an idea akin to
Berean believers who search the scriptures daily
and learned of those who labored among them
For ⛪️this🕊️, give us patience,
Help me respect illustrate
respect in my walk to receive the same,
Towards a more peaceful union
Of heart and spirit🕊️.

Because periodically,
the greatest comfort
is not a speech,
but steady presence.
Not a grand gesture,
but faithful fellowship.
Not noise,
but someone 🕊️ walking beside you
Holding hands in the spirit
and in 🕊️ person
with Christ✝️ still at the center.

So let our words be fitting.
Let our tone be gracious.
Let our company be useful.
Let our hearts remain submitted
Our mindsets committed
Towards something better
For one another
in the fear of God✝️.

And if we are beside one another, Lord,
let it always lead us closer to You✝️
in wisdom,
in peace,
purpose,
and closer in the kind of
brotherhood and sisterhood
that reflects Heaven well
through what we know
and who we know
to keep 👍🏾us🕊️ mindful
that fellowship is not small.
It is ministry.
It is mercy.
It is one ✝️ way
to let Your✝️ presence be felt
in the everyday walk of life.

So Lord, as You✝️ Teach us
to walk beside one another
may we never lose sight
of You✝️.
So that each night can lead to rest
Over our finished work
Each day!

In Jesus Christ✝️ name I pray and give thanks. Amen. 🕊️
