Why You Need Others For Support with Rick Warren

saddleback.com - In today’s world, dependency is often considered a weakness. We’re taught that we don’t need anyone to figure things out on our own. But God did not create you to be alone - he created you to depend on a spiritual family for support. In this message, Pastor Rick Warren talks about how community is God’s answer to loneliness, fatigue, defeat, and despair. Having a church family is important because we need others to walk with us, work with us, watch out for us, wait and weep with us, and witness with us.

My daughter whom is 1 had a seizure the other day. Never have I ever felt so scared. My church family was there (@ a basketball game) but yet they didn't care to come after us only a few showed up after the game. I felt so discouraged by them esp our pastor. I've prayed for forgiveness on those feelings. Thanks so much for explaining the true meaning of spiritual support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and God bless you 💕

I hear you, and I am hoping it works for many. Every time I lean on someone else or rely on them or even work with others seems to do nothing more than hold me back. Yeah, its lonely but its not as bad as being constant or consistently failed and disappointed. It is true. 100% all the time, and I am no spring chicken, been there and back and have the tee shirt of many a church and many a friend group. All are just a giant disappointment to me. No thanks, I am just going to go it my own now.

It’s all just too much I don’t know what you all have been through but I’ve got to be honest here ‘ More times than not I see next to no support from Christians or church groups Most of the abuse I have suffered has been from Christians God has not provided in this area and it’s just hopeless Can’t keep putting myself through this anymore Saddens me Given up

[@nathanielriesterer9103]

This is exactly how i have felt and or experienced. Rick comes off like all the other pastors I've listened to on these subjects. In my experience most people don't want spiritual stimulation in fellowship. But I do agree with everything Rick is saying here,its just not as easy as he makes it out to be. Pray for it and hang in there..

[@remelbolanos5111]

Pastor, what if those people that should encourage you discourage you?

Father God, thank you for drawing me to you through Christ and touching my hearts and needs all in the right ways, thank you for being my biggest fan, while I praise you for your greatness I can just comprehend partly. Lord, I would love to have one or two more close friends of my age in my life that I could have for life, friends that bring me closer to you God and help me to be rooted strong in the faith, binding myself, but also my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquitances, opponents and the body of Christ to find the needed support and stimulation, strength and stability, empowering sense of awe of the supernatural, selfworth and self-expression, significance and satisfaction in godly and loving friendships while binding to hell every lack of godly and loving friendships and binding to hell every idea of not needing other human beings in one's life, binding to hell every unequal yoke and common share with anyone lacking one's spiritual needs met in godly and loving friendships while believing not to need other human beings, in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah, glory to God ❤!
