Are We There?

I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me.  Psalm 77:1

 

God is always there for us when we are in pain.  He is there when emotional hurts have us weighed down and we feel all is lost.  He is there when physical pain feels insurmountable.  He is there to give us comfort and wrap us in His loving protective arms.

 

Are we there when our friends are in pain?  Are we there when emotion hurts have weighed them down and feel they have no where to go?  Are we there when their physical pain is to much to bear?  Are we there to give a hug just when it is needed?  We should be there lifting them up in prayer to our Heavenly Father.  We should be there to give them a hug, an encouraging word, cook a meal when needed or just to sit and listen.

 

Today say a prayer for those you know that are hurting, for God to meet their every need.

 

Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.

1 Peter 4:10
