Trouble with Friends

“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!” - Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

If your friends are letting you down, maybe there is something going on in their lives that is causing pain or anxiety. Sometimes the best thing to do is just be a patient listener. On the other hand, if you are experiencing pain and anxiety, reach out to your friends for help. Don’t try to face your troubles alone! You can also pray for your friends or that God will send you a true friend if you don’t have one.
