Today’s prayer
Written prayerDear Lord, We know that sorrow is inevitable in this life. Trials come and tragedy strikes, leaving us at a loss for words. It’s times like these when friendship is crucial. We pray that You would empower us to be tender-hearted to our friends who face tragedy. Give us wisdom to know when to speak, when to be silent, and when to reach out. Help us to be selfless during those times, and not look to please ourselves with vein advice and ill-timed platitudes. We want to be near as You are near, comforting as You are comforting, and wise as You are wise. Guide us in all these things.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
