To Love My Brothers in Christ

Lord Jesus,
In a world that is all too happy to tear down, use me to build others up. I know many brothers in the faith are struggling silently. While they may not be willing to speak up, give me the courage to check in on them by being willing to go deeper than just surface-level exchanges. Prompt me to ask thoughtful questions that open doors to more meaningful conversations. Let my words and body language clearly communicate that I am not seeking to judge or belittle them, but to listen, support, and encourage in any way I can.

So many battles are lost because of isolation and loneliness. Give me the social awareness to be able to identify when my brothers in Christ might be at risk. Make me bold to take the lead in normalizing this behavior, so that others may follow my example and such care and concern among brothers can become a much more common blessing. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For Brothers in the Faith

Dear Jesus,
I am grateful that you haven’t called me to follow in your footsteps alone, but have always brought brothers in the Christian faith to walk alongside me. While fellowshipping and staying connected with fellow Christians in general is a blessing, there is a unique friendship shared between men of faith. That relationship is even more impactful when guys share a particularly tight bond. David had Jonathan. Jesus had his inner circle of disciples. We have those who know us well enough to call us out and correct us when we need a rebuke or admonishment. But those same individuals are also right there to celebrate when they notice the spiritual progress that you work in us. 

These connections nurture accountability and help foster a growth mindset. Guys are better when we grow together, rather than allowing ourselves to go it alone and fall into isolation. Thank you for the men you have put in my life who care about my soul and spiritual health enough to call me out, take me under their wing, or whatever other good you may work in my life through them. Continue to bless Christian men everywhere with other Christian men nearby to walk with you and live for you together. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
