Lord Jesus, who has called us friends as you share your vision with us, continue to invite us to share our hearts with you as well, that as we unfold our stories with you, we might be encouraged by your attention, enlightened by your wisdom, and grow in trust and love as we walk in your presence, through you who lives in perfect love with the Father and Holy Spirit forever. Amen. ‘And he said to them, “What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?” They stood still, looking sad.’ – Luke 24:17
