Heavenly Father, thank You for friends who will sit with me through times of grief. Help me to realise that sometimes I don't need to offer lots of chatter to help someone, but just being there for a friend in need may be the best for them. Thank You that You work all things together for good for those that love You and that no matter what sufferings I may have to undergo in this fallen world, You will use it to teach me more of Your character and more about myself. Keep me from engaging in human wisdom or allowing worldly philosophies or legalistic tendencies to adversely influence my understanding of Your plans and purposes. And help me to hold fast to my integrity, like Job, when I do not understand why difficulties have arisen in my life. This I ask in Jesus' name. AMEN.
