"And they sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and noone spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great." Job 2 v13 I'm sitting here struggling to find anything sensible to say. Somewhere over there in mid America there's a guy whom I've come to care for lots really struggling, really hurting - and my only, entirely inadequate, tools are words and prayer. There are things I could say - have said - that remain true. I'll resist the temptation for now - most of all, just at the moment, you need to hear that there are others who are there for you. But now is the time for silence from me. But know that prayer is going up for you. |
