Main Prayer Point
Pray that we would develop deep spiritual friendships in the church (Life Groups, ministries, etc).
We will pray through Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 today. Read it aloud once through. Then use the reflection and prayer questions below to guide your prayers through this passage.
Ecclesiastes 4:9–12
[9] Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. [10] For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! [11] Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? [12] And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken. (ESV)

- Reflect: In this passage, there is wise counsel about the value of deep relationships. Do I have any relationships in which we mutually support and care for each other?
- Pray: If yes, thank God for these people by name and ask Him to bless these relationships. If no, ask God to help you find godly friends and make courageous steps toward relationship.
- Reflect: Do I know of anyone at Enon who may be struggling to connect in relationships?
- Pray: Ask God for eyes to see people in need of friendship. Ask Him to help you reach out to someone else in the name of Jesus.
