I wasn't made to do life alone.

A Bible affirmation for friendship, rooted in Ecclesiastes 4:9.

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.

Ecclesiastes 4:9 · BSB

Reflection

The Teacher watched a man work endlessly with no one to share it with, and called it futile. Two are better than one. Asking for help isn't failure. It's how God built us.

A prayer

Father, help me let people in. Show me who I can lean on, and who needs to lean on me.
