You are my friends if you do what I command you. ~ John 15:14 (CEB)
God, I want to be your friend. I want to do what you comand. I want to worship you and pay close attention to you. But I'm a failure at all those things. Thank you for continuing to invite us to you in spite of our failure. Heal me so that I can follow you without distraction and obey you without hesitation. I am turning to you -- and you alone. Amen.
