Galatians 6:1-3 NLT
1 Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are Godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. (Disappointment, resentment, etc. etc.)

3 If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important.

6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Prayer:

And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest...for I will not leave thee..."
