• 2:02

• 2:04

• 2:06
  - who is always faithful.

  - I'll see you there.
• 2:22
  - Welcome
• 2:23
  - to the divine five one five podcast.
• 2:26
  - Here is today's prayer.
• 2:33
  - Hello, and welcome to divine five one five
• 2:36
  - daily prayers with Valerie Rocha.
• 2:38
  - I'm your host today, and
• 2:40
  - here is today's prayer.
• 2:43
  - Letting others walk beside you.
• 2:47
  - Scripture text comes from Ecclesiastes
• 2:49
  - four nine through 10 and says, two are
• 2:52
  - better than one for
• 2:53
  - if either of them falls down, one can
• 2:56
  - help the other up.
• 2:59
  - Now
• 3:01
  - I don't know about you,
• 3:04
  - but I've been in situations when I was
• 3:06
  - going through something.
• 3:08
  - And
• 3:09
  - I was, for whatever reason,
• 3:12
  - feeling a certain kind of way and didn't
• 3:14
  - even feel like I was worthy to ask
• 3:17
  - God for help.
• 3:18
  - So my
• 3:19
  - idea
• 3:20
  - was to go
• 3:21
  - and help someone else because it was a
• 3:23
  - distraction
• 3:25
  - for for dealing with my own stuff, even
• 3:27
  - though
• 3:28
  - my problem was still right there
• 3:31
  - when I was done helping that other person.
• 3:34
  - And the truth of the matter is that
• 3:37
  - many of us find it easier to help
• 3:39
  - others than to admit we need help ourselves.
• 3:44
  - Pride, disappointment,
• 3:45
  - or fear, whatever
• 3:48
  - wherever you find yourself,
• 3:53
  - in the situation
• 3:55
  - is a burden that can keep us isolated
• 3:58
  - even when God has placed people in our
• 4:00
  - lives to encourage us.
• 4:02
  - So remember,
• 4:05
  - we don't have to do this thing called
• 4:07
  - life by ourselves.
• 4:10
  - Scripture says that we are to be helpers
• 4:12
  - one to another
• 4:13
  - because
• 4:15
  - when we are left to our own devices,
• 4:19
  - we will fall down
• 4:21
  - and may not have anybody to help us
• 4:23
  - up. But if we allow others to help
• 4:25
  - us,
• 4:28
  - it's always better because two is better than
• 4:31
  - one.
• 4:33
  - Having said that,
• 4:35
  - let's pray.
• 4:39
  - Father God, teach us that vulnerability
• 4:42
  - is not weakness,
• 4:43
  - but trust.
• 4:46
  - Give us the courage to receive encouragement just
• 4:48
  - as freely as we give it.
• 4:51
  - Remove the fear of being a burden and
• 4:54
  - remind us
• 4:55
  - that you've created us to strengthen
• 4:58
  - one another.
• 5:00
  - Your word tells us that iron sharpens iron.
• 5:04
  - Build relationships in our life that honor you
• 5:07
  - and help us become a faithful encourager
• 5:11
  - to others.
• 5:13
  - And we will say thank you for never
• 5:15
  - leaving us to walk alone. In Jesus' name,
• 5:19
  - amen.
• 5:21
  - Here's some food for thought.
• 5:24
  - Who has encouraged your faith recently?
• 5:27
  - Take a moment today to thank them and
• 5:29
  - let them know how God used them in
• 5:31
  - your life.
