We Shall Not Walk Alone
Today I would like to say a special word of thanks to those of you who have supported the Dial Hope Foundation with a financial donation. Your gifts make this ministry possible!
Great Christian pastor and thinker, William Sloan Coffin, once wrote, “People say the church is a crutch. Of course, it’s a crutch. What makes you think you don’t limp?”
I’ll be the first to admit it. I limp. I need the church. I don’t want to carry my burdens or joys alone. I need a community; people to pray with me and for me; to challenge me and comfort me. And so today, I give thanks for my family of faith, for the joy of walking this journey together, knowing that we shall not walk alone.
Let us pray: Loving God, we realize that without you we are lost. And, without each other, it’s a hard and lonely road. We want to be healthy and whole and alive. So we ask you to help us connect deeply to others on this pilgrimage of faith. As we do, may we experience your healing love and your redeeming grace. Breathe your Spirit into us this day; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
