In a world where people have shallow relationships and only a few acquaintances, it&#8217;s hard to find good friends. &#8220;Hanging with the crowd&#8221; can give us a false sense of belonging, but it often leaves us hurt and alone in times of trouble. Relationships that are open, honest, helpful, and loving don&#8217;t happen on their own. Ask the Lord to put you in touch with close family friends. Help and serve the people around you. Listen to what they want and pray for them every day. Spend time serving God with other Christians who also want to serve. Join a Bible study or a group that will hold you accountable. As you do this, have faith that God will give you that &#8220;friend who sticks with you through thick and thin.&#8221; You can find friends easily, but you can&#8217;t always count on them.
