Many of us don’t know what to say or do when someone is hurting. Isn’t it refreshing to read this biblical example of simply sitting alongside someone to offer comfort? We can all learn to do this. When we sit beside others in their pain, God will work through us with His quiet power to remind them they are not alone, but seen and loved.
Father God, I want to comfort others like You have comforted me. Teach me how to comfort simply through the quiet power of sitting alongside them in their pain. I want You to be glorified as You comfort them through my silent presence. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
