God Cares About Your Relationships

• How do you know that God cares about you?

• Why do you think God created people to live in families?

The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
Genesis 2:18

In this verse from early Genesis, God is just about to create Eve. God didn’t want Adam to be alone. See, even way back then, God was concerned about our loneliness. And he still is today. God doesn’t want us to be lonely—that’s why he gives us families and friends.

It’s healthy to spend some time alone. It’s healthy to spend some time alone with God. But we are not designed to spend all our time alone. God wants us working together, sharing one another’s tough times and triumphs.

There is tremendous power in fellowship. We are supposed to lift one another up, support one another and keep one another company. Relationships like this honor God.

If you are feeling lonely, talk to God about it. He does care. Ask him to send you friends to help you in life; ask him to help you strengthen your bonds within your family. He will.

PRAYER
Dear God, thank you for caring about us. Thank you for giving us friends and family to help us, support us and love us. Amen.
