The Right Words
When Job’s three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite, heard about all the troubles that had come upon him, they set out from their homes and met together by agreement to go and sympathize with him and comfort him.—Job 2:11 (NIV)
Do you ever yourself in a situation where you think, I don’t know what to say? Perhaps a friend tells you that they got fired, or someone is getting a divorce, or grieving a deep loss. When this happens, pray for God to give you the right words, and if that doesn’t help, just sit with them and let them know you’ll hold them in your prayers.
Great and Awesome God, help me be a source of Your love and comfort to my friends. Guide me to say and do the right thing.
