Being alone can be torturous. But we are not alone.
When people like us who have encountered and followed Jesus connect with one another, the power is real. They find they need each other, and that God is active in this new kind of family whatever problems it may have.
The Bible guides us as to how to be a family of God. God Himself seeks our unity and love as His family. We can be one in our faith and love of Jesus if we look to the Good News.

PRAYER:
Father of the family of faith, we see the love you show the world, and we want to make that real in our lives.
