And tonight we are learning but it's not a sham Psalms 38 and 39 and the name of tonight's lesson is cry of the lonely. Often times happens to every one of us that there times when you feel all alone in the world. And even if you got good friends, find out that most friends we call fair weather friends.

But when you're down and you need help, you need encouraging word, that people they don't want to go down the trenches with you. They you know, the bullets you you you take the bullets, you take the crossfire. Your real friends are the ones that go down the trenches with you. They go through that's why I had the connections and comrades and and and the combat you know in the army are so strong because you go through difficulties together. But mostly it's civilian life you find out when a person has difficulties doesn't have many friends and even relatives they move back from and even relatives they move back from him. And they see what's going on here. People I trusted, people I turned to and now all of a sudden I'm alone. And they say wait a second that's this is crazy.
