How to restore broken friendships?

[Hobie]

What is the best way to put back together relationships that have been pushed apart by others. Such as one person not accepting the advice of others on personal or money matters, and separating themselves even from the friendship with you.

Pray. Seek God's guidance and discernment. Some relationships can handle challenges... while others just cannot.
Talk. Be honest on where you stand with each other.

Such as one person not accepting the advice of others on personal or money matters, and separating themselves even from the friendship with you.

Not sure I understand how you mean this... but if the person doesn't accept "advice", then don't give it unless asked. It's up to the other person to accept it or not. Just because they may ask, or you may volunteer it, doesn't mean they are obligated to act on it.

We can all be stubborn and make choices that aren't exactly the smartest... but we each have to make our own mistakes, and hopefully we learn and grow, and don't repeat them.
In the end, it's the choice of the other person if he/she chooses to associate with you or not. All we can do is pray for them and show them love.
The Bible is full of instruction on how to treat other people, even our enemies are to be prayed for. Our options on what we can do are limited, but God is not limited. God can change hearts. So the place to begin is with prayer.

Yea just pray and dont give advice unless asked cos it probably wasnt helpful to them or they didnt understand it. Its easy to give advice, not so easy to act on it .

Eg say someones in an abusive realationship and people keep telling them to leave that person, but they keep staying. Maybe they have nowhere else to go!

With money maybe you tell them to not spend so much or make a budget, but do you actually sit down with them and teach them HOW to budget?
