I Don't Want To Live Anymore Day 6

Matthew 18:20 
 20 For wherever two or three are gathered (drawn together as My followers) in (into) My name, there I AM in the midst of them. [Exod. 3:14.]
 
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10  
9 Two are better than one, because they have a good [more satisfying] reward for their labor;
10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!
 
Ecclesiastes 4:12  
 12 And though a man might prevail against him who is alone, two will withstand him. A threefold cord is not quickly broken.

You Belong In Community

Who do you have in your life that uplifts you, encourages you, and challenges you to seek God faithfully? Who knows the things you’re struggling with and is there for you in a time of need, no matter what time of day or night it is?
God didn’t create us to go through life on our own. He created us to be surrounded by other followers of Christ who build us up, pray for us, and carry us when we can’t go any further. If you don’t have relationships like that in your life, you’re missing out!
The Bible tells us that when two or more people are gathered in the name of Jesus, God is there among them. Two people are better than one, the book of Ecclesiastes says, because if one of them falls, the other is there to offer a helping hand. And just like a cord of three strands woven tightly together is tough to break, a group of believers standing together is strong and united.
If you’re reading this and feeling that you don’t have this sense of community in your life, we want you to know that we’re here for you! Check out Church Online at http://live.lifechurch.tv or submit a prayer request to us at http://go2.lc/prayer. We would love to help you continue on this road to restoration and healing. You belong in community!
Take a moment now to pray this to God: God, thank You for creating me to exist in community with people who love and encourage me. I know that I can’t go through life on my own, and ask that You would help me take the step to reach out to others for help and guidance. I believe that You will bring the right people into my life to help me grow closer to You every day. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.
