What responsibility do I have toward my Christian brothers and sisters? 
What do they have toward me in time of need?  This can be a very interesting 
subject. 
     So what do I do or what can I expect from my Christian bothers and sisters
when trouble comes or I need help?  So often we neglect help either directly or
indirectly.  Sometimes, even before trouble or despair lays us flat, we could 
turn toward a helpful soul.  Sometimes, even though He isn't, Jesus seems to be
so far away and we feel so lonely.
     The Bible tells us three things we as Christians owe to each other as 
brothers and sisters in the Lord.  The first of these is prayer.  Paul exhorts 
us to pray and watch over each other in Eph 6:18...

         "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and 
         WATCHING thereunto with all PERSEVERANCE AND SUPPLICATION FOR ALL 
         SAINTS." 

     Secondly  Paul tells us to exhort each other to having a closer walk with 
God.  I Tim 4:13...

         "Till I come give attendance to reading, TO EXHORTATION and to 
         doctrine."

Again in Heb 3:13...

         "But EXHORT one another DAILY, WHILE IT IS TODAY; LEST ANY OF YOU BE 
         HARDENED THROUGH THE DECEITFULNESS OF SIN."

And lastly, to confess our faults and problems to one another.  James 5:16...

         "Confess your faults one to another, and pray for one another, that ye
         might be healed.........."  

     Please  note  the word pray. Herein are our obligations  to  each 
other. Much pain and suffering would not take place if we would
only follow these simple rules.  PRAY, EXHORT, AND CONFESS
