How To Help A Friend

In my youth group I see a lot of amazing teens who can't get enough of Jesus, but I also see some people who come just because their friend is there. Now I'm not saying all those people are doing it for the wrong reasons, but some are. I have this friend, she's gone through a lot and still goes through a lot and the other day she came to me for help, I had absolutely no idea what to tell her, and here I am thinking I'm educated about the bible.... Anyways I tried to relate to her at first but who am I kidding I don't even go to public school anymore, I don't have to deal with that stuff! Then I told her maybe she should talk to an adult, she said no one would understand. At this point I was like " well crap, what do I say now?! " Eventually we figured out something for her to do, but since I went through this I thought maybe I should give some other people advice on what to do if this ever happens to you!

All About Youth

In youth it's amazing because you're surrounded by people that you can relate to, and it feels amazing to know that they have your back! Sometimes you're in a rough situation or mental state and you just want to be around other people who've lived it or just love God! That's my youth group honestly, we always have new kids, some come with their family, some come with friends, others come for help, and some come just to play around. So there are so many people that you could be helping right now! Are you too scared? Maybe a little uncomfortable about sharing with them what you know? Well read below to have some encouraging words for what to do if you feel that way!

Encouraging Section

I've always been scared to speak my mind in public except for when I'm with my girl group! I'm not an expert or anything, but I now know what to do haha, so why not share it! A lot of times you know you should help a friend, but you don't know what to say or maybe you're scared they'll judge you for what you tell them, either way you know they need something said to them! When you don't know what to say, just try and make them a friend, or if they already are try and strengthen you're relationship and make them feel safe with the church and the Lord! Then whenever you know what to say, ease in with it, don't just come at them! That would ruin your relationship or not make it as strong. You need to say it as a friend, and know that God has your back!

In Conclusion

Try and help someone in need, even if you're afraid to do so, share with them or give them advice, I couldn't do that the other day with a friend but I've thought and prayed about it and now I think I can still talk to her thankfully! Thank you to anyone who read my blog post, I'm very thankful to be able to do this! Make sure you give me feedback and ideas for what to post! Have a good rest of the week!
