It is true that the finest friends are those who consistently and tenderly speak truth in love to weary faiths. Above all, true friends serve as a beacon of truth, reminding us of God's love for us. The obstacles in life sometimes be too much for you to handle alone, therefore you need people who support you to keep going. Because they may support one another when one falters and assist each other achieve, "two are better than one." When your faith or determination falters, friends offer accountability, support, and strength.

Godly friends give their presence to support you during difficult times, pray for you, and remind you of God's promises. God intended for you to walk with companions as a source of grace and encouragement, not to walk alone. Be in the company of those who inspire you to hold fast to your beliefs and to life. You can continue traveling together, believing that God is guiding you on this same path. Jesus dispatched the disciples to assist one another in pairs.

Above all, the key to supporting your friends in staying true to them and supporting them through trials, pain, and even victories is to simply be there for them. With sensitivity, pay attention to their challenges and provide uplifting, scripturally-based remarks. Pray often for them, exalting the Lord and requesting His power in their life.

Remind them of God's grace and constancy, and that His love never wavers, when they fall short or experience suffering (Lamentations 3:22–23). Congratulate them on their accomplishments and tell them that God is the source of all good gifts (James 1:17). In every season, walk with them as a friend, pointing them back to Jesus. Your support, intercession, and encouragement might serve as a useful reminder of God's unwavering love while they abide in Christ.
