Friends may not understand what you are going through.

During times of loss, your friends may say things that bring no comfort. Remember they don’t completely understand what you are experiencing and sometimes you don’t even know how you are feeling. Continue to share with your friends as you go through your loss; this will allow them to know how to pray. But take you whole heart to Jesus, our only true comforter.

The hymn “What A Friend We Have in Jesus” says it all, “What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!  What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!…”

May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word. 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17
