Day 287 - Share with a Friend
Pray for God to bring you a friend you can talk with about your loss. Let your friend know what you need from him or her. You might prefer writing your friend a letter that expresses your feelings, your needs, and your thankfulness for the friendship.
Sylvia, who lost her parents, had a close friend who helped her through her grief: “He was just a friend that I could go to and talk to and know that he understood; that was the main thing, just having somebody to listen to me.”
Never underestimate the comforting power of friendship.
“You have comforted me by speaking so kindly to me” (Ruth 2:13 NLT).
Provider God, I pray that I keep up my friendships with those who are true to me, even when I don’t feel like making the effort. Amen.
