Ecclesiastes 4:9–12 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. If one of them falls, he can help his companion up; but woe to the one who falls alone and has no one to help him up.
When I expect fellow workers for my ministry, I need to be reminded first that true unity doesn't stem from a shared plan, but from shared kneeling. God often lets me first experience a period of solitude, teaching me that I cannot rely on ability, resources, or enthusiasm; only then does He bring companions at the right time. Supporters are not those who stand by my side, but those willing to pray together, wait together, and be pruned together. Without God's guidance, no matter how many people there are, the ministry cannot be stable; but with God's guidance, even two or three people are enough to go far.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for preparing brothers and sisters to walk with me when I least expected it. I entrust all those I meet today into your hands, not seeking rapid progress in our relationships, but only that your will be clearly revealed. Guard our hearts, that we may not be led astray by the needs of ministry, but first be drawn by your presence. If this is from you, build it up yourself; if not from you, gently restrain it. May we stand not by zealous walking, but by prayer; not by expectation of one another, but by your guidance along the way. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
