4:201 – Listen and Learn from Friend

#faithbites #faithjourney listen

Setting

Yesterday was a hard day with anxiety and stress, but I kept breathing. The reason I was able to keep going was the strength and support of all of my friends. You told me what to do and I listened. I chose to listen to you over my anxiety and fear. Someone told me, including myself, that there was nothing to be anxious about. I wish it was that easy. What was easier was knowing I wasn’t alone and that God’s breathe was in me. You all helped make that happen.

i cant thank you enough for the wmmessages, texts, and personal encourmenta throughout the day. It truly takes a village.

Today’s Questions: Do you take advice from your friends? Are you listenjng to what they say or letting it pass?

Scripture

• Proverbs 13:20 – Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm
• Proverbs 19:27 – Cease to hear instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge.

Reflecrion

Not much to add today just know that your friends are a gift from God. They can help you, protect you, and teach you. Just listen to them.

I took deep breaths, I stopped before getting out of the car, I breathed, and just knew everyone was with me. I knew God was with me.

As we close, never forget that your friends are with you and are an extension of God. Use their knowledge and don’t forget to appreciate them.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, thank you for our friends Thank you for protecting us and giving us helpers. We pray that you help us to get over ourselves and realize we need help. Let us accept the help as a sign of strength. We pray this in your name, Amen.
