Every man needs good friends around him, and we need to be good friends to others, especially in hard times. The apostle Paul wrote, “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2).

We have the opportunity to bear others’ burdens every day.

When our friends fail us, we can call them out, as Job did. We can also remember our own failings as a friend, which can make us more patient.

And we can come alongside trustworthy brothers who will carry our burdens, as we carry theirs.

When Friends Fail Us Bible Passage: "You are miserable comforters, all of you! Will your long-winded speeches never end? What ails you that you keep on arguing?" (Job 16:2-3
