When your world is falling apart there is usually not much your friends can do to put it back together. Nonetheless, their emotional support can be enormously valuable. And their prayers can be a source of great comfort, enabling you to bear things you never imagined yourself capable of bearing, so ask for their help. That’s what Jesus did in Gethsemane (Mt. 26:37-38).
“5 When we arrived in Macedonia, there was no rest for us. We faced conflict from every direction, with battles on the outside and fear on the inside. 6 But God, who encourages those who are discouraged, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus. 7 His presence was a joy…”
— 2 Corinthians 7:5-7 NLT)
Jesus, help us to encourage those whose world is falling apart. Amen.
