Day Fifteen: Lean In

I'll be your firend, I'll help you carry on~

"Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We always know that there's tomorrow

Lean On Me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show

Lean On Me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me

So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to make it
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to make it

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on"

PRAY WITH ME
Lord, help us to find that sweet spot, that place close to you where we can lean into you and find comfort. Keep us close to you at all times, so close we can lay our head on your shoulder when we are hurting, when we can reach out for your hand when we need help up, and we can hide with your arm around us when we need protection. In Jesus name, amen.
