I don't have to carry everything alone, and neither does she.

A Bible affirmation for friendship, rooted in Galatians 6:2.

Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Galatians 6:2 · BSB

Reflection

Paul calls carrying each other's burdens the law of Christ. Friendship in God's family isn't only fun. It's sharing the heavy things: a meal, a ride, a long phone call when life falls apart.

A prayer

Lord, show me whose burden I can help carry today, and let me accept help too.
