Question:
lately my friends won't stop gossiping. they hate perfectly fine people just because they're bored. they don't really care about how they hurt the ones they talk about. sometimes i really don't like hanging out with them because all they do is talk trash about everyone and i can't stand it.
they used to not be like this..before our only topics weren't "____ is SOO annoying etcetc" i don't want to ditch them completely so i just wish they could change..please pray because i dont know what else to do
Answer:
That's not a fun situation to be in.
Have you tried talking to them? When they start to gossip you could say something along the lines of, "I really don't want to talk poorly about so and so..." or you could even point out something really great about the person they want to talk about as a way to change the subject.
I will be praying, however.
Answer:
praying for strength against their struggles.
-In Prayer-
Answer:
I'll pray that you approach them in love, humility and forgiveness. That's the hardest thing in the world for me to do.
Answer:
I encourage you to pray for them perhaps even talk to them about it, but ultimately if they don't change find some new people to hang out with. That kind of behaviour is contagious and the last thing you want is for it to infect your life too.
