O God

I feel helpless now, I feel weak. Very helpless, very weak. 

For running out of words, for not being there personally for her. And also for saying the wrong words and frustrated over her feelings and thinking right now. 

I know I can't fully feel what she's going through now, but God said He knows everything. From the stars in the sky, and the hairs on our heads. 

We know we can always trust God in every situations, but to trust, means that we're willing to surrender everything to Him because we know that He will take care of our needs, especially emotional ones.

I pray that God can continue to give me strength so that I can pass to her, and I also pray that God can give me the appropriate words to say. As a close friend, I know that I can't and won't be able to ignore her situation. I can't and won't be silent. What I can try is to not speak the wrong words to make her feel worse. 

I'm glad that there are other friends who are there for her, supportive for her and she's involved in an event that can take her mind off at least for a while. At least I know she's not alone.

Let's not focus on tomorrow. Let's focus on today. Let's appreciate everything we do and everything that we have today. Take each day as one single step. Because when the clock strikes 12, it's another today. Tomorrow never comes, but today, will come again, and today, is always a fresh new beginning.

In Romans 8:26, it says that The Spirit helps us in our weaknesses. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 

Thank You Lord, for giving us Your Spirit to help us when we pray. Thank You for hearing our prayers and loving us.
