There is nothing better than sitting with a good friend on a summer day. Or any day for that matter. Being with friends can revive the spirit and give us a different perspective that we might not have considered.

Sometimes it is not possible to sit with your friend in person. But there is a way to sit with them in prayer and support.

And when you feel like you cannot find a friend in the world to sit with, remember that God is already sitting with you. Where two or three or gathered … it is true that God is with you. Can you feel that presence?

Next time you are sitting with your friend, say a prayer of thanksgiving for their presence in your lives.
