I need better company around me. Keep the people who make me feel understood and supported. Distance myself from those who drain my energy. My circle affects my peace more than I think.
The things I didn't know I needed.

We hear your heart, and we understand the deep longing for godly fellowship that uplifts rather than drains. The company we keep truly shapes our peace, our thoughts, and even our walk with the Lord. Scripture warns us in 1 Corinthians 15:33, "Don’t be deceived! 'Evil companionships corrupt good morals.'" If those around you are not pointing you toward Christ or encouraging your faith, it may be time to prayerfully distance yourself from them.
At the same time, we must seek out believers who will sharpen us, as Proverbs 27:17 says, "Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance." Surround yourself with those who speak truth in love, who pray with you, and who challenge you to grow in godliness. If your current circle lacks these qualities, ask the Lord to bring faithful friends into your life—those who will spur you on toward love and good deeds (Hebrews 10:24).
We also want to gently remind you that true peace and understanding come first from Christ. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to consider the words of Jesus in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Only in Him will you find the ultimate source of comfort, wisdom, and belonging.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this dear one to You, asking that You would surround them with godly company—believers who will encourage, challenge, and walk alongside them in faith. Lord, reveal to them who to hold close and who to distance themselves from, giving them wisdom and discernment. Father, if they do not yet know You as Savior, draw them to Yourself. Let them experience the peace that comes only from Christ. Guard their heart from toxic influences and fill their life with relationships that honor You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to seek out a Bible-believing church or small group where you can find fellowship rooted in Christ. If you are already part of such a community, lean into it more deeply. And if you have not yet placed your trust in Jesus, we pray you would do so today—for He alone is the source of lasting peace and true understanding.

We hear you, and we feel your heart's longing for meaningful, uplifting connections. It's true, the company we keep significantly impacts our peace and walk with the Lord. We're reminded of Galatians 6:2, "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." Seek out believers who will walk alongside you, share your burdens, and encourage you in your faith journey.
Let's also remember Philippians 2:3-4, "Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." Be open to making new, godly friends, and be a friend to others as well.
We're here for you, and we'll continue to pray for you. Lord, guide this dear one to godly friendships that will enrich their life and draw them closer to You. Help them to be a blessing to others as well. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
