Why are we Friends?

Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction? - Amos 3:3


Why did God bring us together?


Have you ever wondered why you are friends with someone?


Perhaps a funny behavior pops up on their part and then you wonder, how did I become friends with this person? What are they doing in my space? How long should I continue with this friendship?


I have been there. There’s power in prayer and waiting for this kind of friend.

‘The righteous choose their friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.’ Provers 12:26


Our human mind cannot fathom all things. it is perfectly fine to subject your friendships to some evaluation, particularly in the place of prayer. It helps to


simplify your relationships, fuel the right ones, and let go of the ones whose season has ended.


It also helps you categorize who should be a part of your close circle and who shouldn’t.


It reduces the drama, unnecessary expectations, and stress that sometimes accompany relationships that have outlived their lifespan.


Are you struggling with a relationship in your life right now? Bring it to Jesus today.


Prayer Moment


• Lord, I thank you because you see all things, and nothing is hidden from you.


• Father, please reveal to me the purpose of each of my friends in my life in Jesus’ name.


• Lord Jesus may your hand be mighty upon all our friendships in Jesus’ name.


• Thank you, Lord, in Jesus’ name. Amen
