Sadness, Laughter, and Prayer

When you least expect it, I will ask you two questions. Today is one of those days.

Think about yesterday…What made you sad?

Being in a conversation with others who sought to win and not to understand.

Again, think about yesterday…What made you laugh?

Catching up with an old friend.

Present both of those to God today.

Father, thank you for yesterday. I was sad that I was alone in trying to understand those around me. Help me, God, not to seek to win but to understand where others are coming from and their points-of-view. You are the God of relationships, so I pray that you will help me to be a light with those I come in contact. I also want to thank you for the time with my friend, God. The situation was not ideal, but it was great to laugh in the middle of it all. I pray your blessings on my friend and that you would give him the gift of laughter more and more. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Now it’s your turn… Remember God wants to hear the big and the little things in our lives. If it makes us sad, He wants to hear it. If it makes us laugh, He wants to hear it too.

 

Come alongside.
