As social creatures, people tend to romanticize the idea of a knight in shining armor all too often. The truth is that our knight in shining armor already knows our names. No need to search any further.
A gigantic problem in our society is that we seek to empower ourselves and to set ourselves free, but that's impossible. This is because all people are imperfect and evil is innate in all of us. The only one who has the power to purify us is, you guessed it, Jesus.
As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:9 NIV)
There is nobody on this earth whose ways are higher than God's ways. People are all human and we actually all need Jesus equally. That being said, people will always fail us because we aren't even equipped to carry our own burdens, much less each others'. This isn't to say that it's not comforting to hug a friend when you're sad, but that isn't a solid foundation. There has only ever been one person in the history of all the earth who can bear our burdens and give us complete rest -- and that's Jesus.
If you're searching for a savior through human relationships, you're never going to find it.
Relying on another sinner to make/keep you happy isn't going to do anything except exhaust that person and when that happens, you're going to end up on the unfortunate end of the situation since people will abandon you. People will disappoint you. To expect anything else is absurd.
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12 NIV)
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4 ESV)
Restlessly searching for fulfillment in other people or things is essentially telling Jesus that He is not enough, when He is actually the only thing that is enough. He can crawl into your pit with you and He can banish any and all demonic things that hang over your head.
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28 NIV)
Your knight in shining armor already hung on a cross for you more than 2,000 years ago. Pursue that.
