When friendship hurts

Have you ever been in a friendship that hurt so much it made you want to give up? You’ve tried to be nice, but it seems like your friend is always bringing you down. You’ve done everything you can, but nothing you do seems to change anything or anyone for the better. Sometimes you feel so used up and wrung out that it hurts to smile. You wonder if you should keep putting yourself out there to be a friend. That’s totally understandable. Life is hard, and people will disappoint you! But don’t let this stop you in your tracks.

This is when you ask God to be your partner. When the situation is way too big to handle yourself, and you can’t see a way out, it’s definitely a two-man (okay, a God-and-woman) job. It’s human nature to try to handle it yourself, but some situations are impossible without supernatural help. God will intervene in human business as far as someone invites him to, so start asking.

So when you feel like you’re dangling over the relationship cliff and you’ve made yourself hoarse from screaming in frustration, the story isn’t over yet. Tell God where you hurt. He knows the hurt that this person caused you. Ask him what to do about this painful relationship. He will help you make progress or move on.

I got this off the Revolve tour website :D
