Uprooted and Transplanted

LEAVING
As you leave, please know that I will pray for you...
That God's love would be made real and Christ's perserverance true
As you leave, please know that I will hope for you...
That daily you will rise to mercies that are new
As I stay, I choose to remember you...
And the way my life was blessed when you came walking through.  (tracy klehn--growing friendships)

Lord, I know that you always have our best interests at heart, but we confess that right now we feel sad and our hearts are breaking because we don't want to lose these friendships through relocation.  We surrender these relationships to you, Lord knowing that you are the One who brought us together in the first place.  We entrust our friends into your care and we ask you to help us in the days and weeks ahead to walk in your ways.  Help us to love our friends with our words and actions, help us to be honest and ask for what we need, and most of all help us keep our hearts and minds open to what the future holds.  "For I know that your plans are to prosper me and not to harm me, plans to give me a hope and a future".  Jeremiah 29:11  I am grateful to know God can handle everything we need and we can just love each other, pray for each other, and trust His goodness toward us.  In Jesus name...Amen
