Who you surround yourself with matters. Not only because they influence you and who you are, but because they are who should have your back in times of need. We all go through hard times. No matter who you are there will come a time when you need to lean on your friends and family. You will need their support and their love. When the time comes, you don't want to look around and realize the people you thought you had aren't there. Your friends should encourage you and help you grow your relationship with God, they should help in keeping you accountable. If we want our friends and family to support us and be there for us we need to practice being good friends to them. We need to support and uplift them.
Prayer:
Lord thank you for your many blessing. Help us to surround ourselves with people who support, uplift and push us toward you. We just ask that you help us to see the people in our life as a blessing. Work in us and help us to be a light for you. Help us to support and serve the people close to us, in Jesus name we pray Amen.
Verse:
A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.
Proverbs 17:17 NLT
