1st May

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.

If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,

I will come in and eat with them and they with me. Revelation 3:20

Dear Jesus,

Thank you that you will only come in at my invitation, never forcing your way in.

Today i pray for those who live alone,

where a knock on the door is only ever from a delivery driver.

Remind them today that you are close by,

You call them by name and want to come in.

I pray especially for those who don’t know you;

cause them to wonder about you,

to invite you in as their special friend.

closer than a brother, mother or lover.

An intimate friend.

Pour your blessing on those who are lonely

and hold in your arms those missing physical contact.

Let them hear your, ‘HERE I AM’.

Amen.
