You Don't Have to Do This Alone
Reading: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 - Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Devotional: "Take off the grave clothes and let him go." When Jesus raised Lazarus, He didn't command Lazarus to unwrap himself. He enlisted the community. This is profound: resurrection is personal, but recovery is communal. Whatever God is breathing new life into in your world, you'll need others to help you walk it out. The strips of linen that bound Lazarus represent the habits, mindsets, and patterns that keep us trapped even after God has freed us. You cannot remove these alone. This is why authentic Christian community matters—not just showing up on Sundays, but allowing people into your mess, your process, your transformation. Stop trying to do life alone. God designed you for connection. Reach out. Ask for help. Let others help unwrap the grave clothes so you can truly walk in freedom.
