I have a friend that I haven't known that long. (I think we met in Oct.) Well we have become really good friends and just resently I found out a lot of issues he is going through like last noght he was struggling with a lot and now he thinks I really just don't care about anything he does or anything that happens to him. I care a lot. Hes a really goof friend and we are open to each. I'm the only one who knows what hes going through so we tell each other a lot. I really need advice. He wouldn't talk to me last night. This morning he seems fine. I really need yall to pray. Please...

Wow... well I seem to be in the same position as u... my bf is one of my best firends. We are more open with each other than anyone else... I'm never quite sure what to do either. Usually I just listen and give him Bible verses. I just tell him over and over that God's in control and loves him and always has his back. And that I do too.... It's tricky but I do have to say that if he's ever got stuff thats really life threatening (serious suicide thoughts, drugs, w/e) as much as you want to keep his confidence, you shouldn't then... I'll pray for him if you'll pray for my guy!!

Okay. That sounds like a good idea. Thanks. I will keep praying for you also. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks agian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ask God for wisdom on what to say too and how to talk to him.

Okay. Thanks for the advice...

My boyfriend struggles with this alot with me cause I have alot of family issues that tare me apart. Anyways, I don't know if this well help your friend or not but try asking him how he feels it should be? Ask him to tell you how he can fix wats wrong! Don't qoute scriptures hunney,I mean I know it helps sometimes, but most people want you to talk to them one on one. They feel like you are lecturing them. Most of all though, be there for him to cry on your shoulder, don't always give answers just listen and let them totally vent to you.If you keep following up on the situation and ask questions, and help get conclusions to things they well see you care. I hope this is of some help! good luck!

Okay. Thanks for the adivce. I will try it soon. I'm really nervous because he really doen't like to talk about it at all. I'm the only person that knows beside his parents. So it's really hard to keep it to my self. Thanks though.
