3.Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 says "Two are better than one... For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow." What does this passage suggest about the design of hard things — that they were meant to be done in community, not alone?
a.Who in your life currently knows what hard things you are attempting?
b.Who could you invite into greater accountability or partnership?
