Oftentimes, situations arise to expose our own frailty. You try to hold everybody up so the Lord's got to show how weak you are. You leaning on people so the Lord's got to show you how weak they are. Because the only One to be glorified in any work is the Lord.
How you supposed to hold them up? By prayer. By your faithfulness to God. When you get into that space with the Lord, and that faithfulness with Him, and you surrendered your life to Him, and it becomes just about you and Him, the Lord will protect and hold everything that is pertaining to you. He'll do it for you.
It's interesting because at the same time that you could be a natural offense to some of your family members, to some of your friends, at the same time you could be a saving grace because they don't know that the Lord will be sparing their life for you. That's why it's so important - your relationship - it goes beyond you. They don't know how valuable you are in their life. They may be seeing you as the black sheep, the outcast the whole time, but your relationship with Jesus is covering them. "I'll save them for you."
The Lord is loving on you by sparing them. Sometimes, you can't even quantify just how much God loves you. And sometimes we look at just the things and the Lord is showing His love in so many manifold ways.
