“The Holy Spirit Helps Our Family Build Godly Friendships”

📖 “Two are better than one… For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.”
—Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 (NKJV)


Friendships don’t just matter for individuals—they matter for families too.

The people your family spends time with influence your home’s atmosphere, your values, and even your spiritual growth. Some friendships strengthen your walk with Christ, while others may pull you in the wrong direction. But the Holy Spirit gives wisdom for building the right relationships.

He helps your family recognize friendships that bring encouragement, unity, and joy.
He warns your hearts when a relationship is unhealthy or divisive.
He leads you toward families who honor God and live out His love.
He helps you create a home that blesses others through kindness, hospitality, and prayer.
He guides your conversations so your home becomes a place of peace and encouragement.

The Spirit also helps your family be a godly friend to others—serving, helping, praying for, and lifting up those He brings into your lives.

Godly family friendships build support, accountability, joy, and spiritual strength.
And the Holy Spirit is faithful to guide you every step of the way.


Talk About It Together:

  • What families has God brought into our lives that strengthen our walk with Jesus?
  • Are there friendships we need to invest in—or gently step away from—through the Spirit’s guidance?

Prayer:

Holy Spirit, guide our family in choosing and keeping godly friendships. Give us wisdom, protection, and discernment. Help us build relationships that bring encouragement, unity, and faith. Make our home a place where Your love is shared and where others feel welcomed and strengthened. Amen.
