Has a friend ever come to you for encouragement or help, but you found yourself at a total loss for words? It's sometimes hard to know how to give our friends guidance, but it's even more challenging when we know our friends are in a really dark place. It's normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes — but when someone we love gets stuck in a dark or hopeless place, they might need some extra help finding their way back to the light again. You'll never be able to fix everyone's problems for them, and there are some times when a friend will need help you're not qualified to give them.
But here's one thing you can always do: when you think someone might be feeling hopeless, you can let the hope you've found in Jesus overflow from you to them, like the apostle Paul describes. But that can only happen when we take the time to be with people when they need hope.
What is hope? Who is it for? How do you know?

About this Plan
Friendship might feel easy when life is easy, but it gets more complicated when your friends are hurting or struggling. What should you do? What should you say? What should you not say? When our friends need help, there are no easy answers, but in this 4-week devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we'll see what Scripture invites us to do when others are grieving, lonely, in need, or feeling hopeless.
