We Are Relational

We are relational because God is relational. God designed us for relationships with him, others, creation, and self. While all relationships are important, none is more important than God. We should always value our relationship with God above all others. When we rightly value God over other people, things, and ourselves, we have a proper posture in our relationships, one that always honors God first.

Brotherhood

A PRAYER FOR BROTHERHOOD:

God, my Father; Jesus, my King; Holy Spirit, my Counselor . . . I

need men in my life. I know it’s not good to be isolated, no matter

what my instincts tell me. I’ve turned my life over to you, and

I need men in my life who are willing to do the same. I need to

know other men, and I need men who know me . . . truly know

me. I want to commit myself to other men, and I need other

men who are willing to commit to me . . . to make me a priority

in their lives. I want to be honest and transparent, and I need

men who are also willing to do the same. I need men in my life

to whom I can confess . . . and they to me. I need men who will

encourage me and help me to keep focused on you . . . fueled

and aflame. I need men who will stand with me through hardship

. . . and I with them. I need men with whom I can search

for my true identity . . . the one you dreamt of, so long ago. I

need brothers.

Holy Spirit, lead me to the right men or bring the right men to

me. You know who they are; I do not. I trust you, not my own

worldly instincts. I pray that you build a brotherhood that will

stand apart, that will stand in your name.

Amen.
