The Monthly Devotional (TMD)
2nd Week
Day 10
Thank God for family, friends and his angels with which he has surrounded us
Introduction:
We take for granted many of God’s blessings, such as the gift of family, friends and angels. We have angels 
surrounding us and ensuring that children of God are protected from harm according to his grace. It is unfortunate we do not know this nor do many people even acknowledge the existence of angels. The Lord can ensure we are guarded by his angels with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
Friends are hard to find because not everyone is ready to be a friend. Everyone desires to have a friend; even Jesus needed friends around him. The beauty of friendship is in the respect, trust and support that is shared. Today you must thank God for the friend(s) he sent to you at different situations in your life. Again, God surrounds us with the bond of the family. The true bond and joy of a family cannot be over emphasized. In truth, it is God that makes this family bliss possible. We must learn to thank God for the gift of the family and then thank Him for the joy that must exist within thereof.

God our Father, I thank you for the exemplary unity of the Holy Trinity, may I learn to love, respect and work fruitfully and harmoniously with the help you send to me, in form of friends, families or angels, in the name of Jesus I pray, amen!
