S1E2 When you don’t seem to have friends

Sometimes it feels like everyone else has their people, and you wonder, "Where are mine?" Or maybe you had them, and lost them. You find yourself feeling unlovable, or unvaluable. Melissa and Rachel talk about their own experiences with these painful seasons and how they turned to Jesus to to meet them in those times. Complete with a challenge —no matter what season you're in with friends right now— we hope you'll leave encouraged and inspired.

Verses:

Galatians 6:2 "Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."

James 5:16 "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective."

Proverbs 27:17 "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."

1 John 1:17 "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin."

Psalm 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

2 Corinthians 4:17“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.”

Psalm 16:11 “You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”

ERV  What you should want most is God’s kingdom and doing what he wants you to do. Then he will give you all these other things you need.

Challenge: If you're in a season abundant with friends, pray about who should be pulled in, who could be blessed by the community you're in. If you're in a season of loneliness, ask God what you need to work on in the waiting: contentment, boldness, humility.
