In your friend group, who's the "strong one?" The one who always seems to have it together or be there to listen to anyone's problems? Being labeled the "strong one" can seem like a badge of honor, but never really gives that person the room to be human. To be human is to experience weakness every now and again. If we never experience those moments of weakness, we won't know the significance of true strength.
But good news! God promises to be our source of strength in times of trouble. When we feel like we can't find the answers to a friend's problems, we can always point them to God. That's right, we don't have to carry the burden of being the "strong one" — the source of strength for those closest to us. We can lean on God and rely on God when we're in need of strength.
What are some ways we can get strength from God when we feel weak?

About this Plan
We all make exchanges! Whether you’re shopping, texting your best friend, or swapping snacks at the lunch table, most of the exchanges we make aren’t very memorable. Maybe you’ve exchanged meaningful advice or encouragement with your friends, family members, coaches, pastors, or younger people you’ve invested in. Those are the exchanges we remember. In this 20-day devotional plan from Grow Curriculum, we'll discover how we can exchange wisdom with people.
