He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. Proverbs 16:32 King James Version

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
Proverbs 3:5‭-‬6 NLT

My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity.
—Proverbs 3:1-2

You have to forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. Don’t let the hurts, the bad breaks, the times you were taken advantage of sour the rest of your life, cause you to live with a chip on your shoulder. God knows how to vindicate you. He knows how to pay you back.

God didn’t create you to get stuck at one level and stay there. He has new opportunities, new relationships, new favor. It may look like you’ll always struggle in life. No, get ready; something new is coming. You have to learn to forgive yourself. The mistake didn’t change your purpose. Don’t let failures and times you got off course cause you to be against yourself. Be as merciful to yourself as you are to others.

AMEN I sure needed to read this today as I need to gather the strength in understanding myself better as I have recently lost a few friendships on a minor comment in a thread.
I really wished it would have been a PM but I was running on no sleep had just worked graveyard and read a post. I thought I was giving him a general idea on who searches the market on ladder slasher frequently, but in reality I didn't see it as a accusation because I was so tired.

Trust in GOD I shall and pray for friendship

The way of the LORD is a refuge for the righteous, but it is the ruin of those who do evil.
—Proverbs 10:29

What we choose to focus on can make all the difference in our lives. To be exceptional means you are intentional with your attitude. Look for what’s right in your life and be grateful for what you have. Times of waiting can be hard, but don’t give up because of challenges or obstacles you may be facing. Continue to remind yourself that you are chosen and do not allow any of the difficulties to change your mind.

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

Hebrews 13:8 NLT

I'm sorry to hear about you having problems with friendship. You're absolutely right to pray about it and trust in Him (and wait on Him) to guide you through the trials.

I've been trying to read more Proverbs as it's a book of Godly wisdom to help us through our lives here on earth. There's 31 chapters in Proverbs so if we read 1 chapter per day, we'll be done with the book in 1 month. Trust in God broski and He will guide your path!

Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ Philippians 3:8 NLT

...I know that through your prayers and the help given by the Spirit of Jesus Christ, what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.
—Philippians 1:19

God said, "I am doing a new thing." What God has for you is already set in motion. Today, God is making rivers in the desert. Today, God is turning dry places into abundant places. If you’ll stay in faith, you’re going to see the new thing. You have to let go of the ashes before you can see the beauty. It’s an exchange. God says, “If you give me the ashes, quit dwelling on the hurts, move forward with your life, I’ll give you the beauty."

The reason some people are stressed out, don’t know what to do, and can’t find peace and joy is because they never get in God’s presence. God wants to give you his strength for the day, mercy for your mistakes, and wisdom for your decisions.
