Acts 2
I am struck this morning how the believers were devoted to "apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer", in particular to fellowship - with other believers. I do have this but at times not enough - I think many of us find ourselves feeling this way.
John Piper also encourages us to look at Hebrews 3:12-13 as a DAILY practice.
Lord Jesus - please help me with my fellowship both in terms of giving and in receiving.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God who loves me and who has given me people in my life to encourage and to be encouraged by - thank You Jesus for this fellowship. I am not deserving of such fellowship. I worry, I gossip, etc. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcomes and turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You love me. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. v42

See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. Hebrews 3:12-13
