And it not only DOES; it works in no other way. Friction is a sneaky thing. You know how a thermos "knows" to keep the hot stuff hot and the cold stuff cold? Well, friction always knows in which direction you're trying to go and pushes against you!
Friction always acts in the direction opposite to the the motion of the object.For example, if a bowling ball rolls to the right, friction would act to the left.Without friction, if you threw a ball, it would keep going forever. Friction slows objects down.
Frictional force and tension in a string always do negative work because they act opposite to the direction of displacement of the object on which they act. This results in a loss of mechanical energy.
Yes, friction acts in the opposite direction that an object wants to slide. It opposes the relative motion between the surfaces.
Yes, it is generally true that kinetic friction is always greater than the maximum value of static friction.
The direction of friction on a rotating object in a clockwise direction depends on the point of contact. Friction opposes the relative motion between the object and the surface it is in contact with, so the direction of friction will act in the direction opposite to the slipping or sliding motion at that contact point.
Friction always acts in the opposite direction to that of the motion of the other object. Meaning, friction slows down the motion of an object by exerting opposing forces on it.

Frictional force must always act in opposite directions
it acts in the opposite direction of motion or force
Friction always acts in the direction opposite to the the motion of the object.For example, if a bowling ball rolls to the right, friction would act to the left.Without friction, if you threw a ball, it would keep going forever. Friction slows objects down.
Friction can be reduced, but in most cases there is no practical way to reduce friction to zero.

no limiting friction is not less than rolling friction
No.
Friction's direction is always against the direction work is being applied to.
Not God.. Friction was always there, that's why planets exist.
