God, my heart is breaking for my friend. What she is going through is just too hard and seems unfair. I don’t know what to do. I long to be a friend who comforts her in her time of need. I ask for Your wisdom on how to do that. More than that, I ask You to intervene. Provide what she needs. Comfort her in her pain. Your Word says You are close to the brokenhearted and those crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18), and I ask You to be near to her now. May she know, experience, and love You more through this. I place her in Your capable hands. I know You are working a miracle in her story, and I pray You give her hope while she waits. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
