    My friend Sam is really having a rough time. He hasn't given me any specifics other than "I have really strayed from God. I get mad at peeps about things, then realize it's me I'm seeing in them, and I'm pissed at what I see. I'm always kinda depressed, I catch myself swearing about everything, and I think about things I shouldn't." And a lot of talk about broken hearts and then finally, "A piece of my heart founds its way back to a person, but I snatched it back so hard and fast I crumpled what was left." And if I'm not mistaken...the person he's talking about is me. So yeah. If you could pray for him I'd really appreciate it. This guy means a lot to me and it kills me to see him hurt so bad, and he won't let me help.
    I'll keep you updated.
    Luv y'all.

    Sorry for not posting earlier. I read it earlier, without time to post a reply.
    So i have been praying for him.

    Let us know what happens.
    If more prayer is needed, or if it sorts itself out.

    I don't really have an update...
    He hasn't said anything else about his problem(s).
    He even said "I'm not worth worrying about, life is good."
    So I'm kind of confused and still worried, but I'm hoping for the best.
    Thanks for your prayers.
    =)

    When i used the excuse "i don't want you to worry" as a reason not to tell my close friend what was going on (as i usually would), the reply was:
    "We don’t need to worry for you but we can care for you and I think caring is much more of a pro-active thing."

    And i think that stands true.
    Let your friend know that he IS worth caring for, and you want to help. (provided that's true).

    ok, I too have read this several times and i was going to post yesterday but my comp. messed up, any way

    Love him and be the best friend you can be. If you want him to talk to you, but he wont open up, than he's willing but not ready, there might be someting deeper.
    he told you that much, but something is holding him back, just listen and don't push him to open up to you, the more you nag the more he will put up a block, be paitent, and seek God for more wisdome to deal with this situation.

    Wait for him to make the move, if you can open up oppertunities go for them, but again don't push him.

    Let God lead you to do anything, if the flesh tries to do it on its own it doesen't work,

    spend time in prayer, and i will continue to pray that God would work this out for the better, and that no one will get hurt.

    thats all i have time for as of now

    I think he should appreciate that you are there.
