Episode 1400 - Jarvis Kingston God, You are near to the brokenhearted. You sit with us in silence and sorrow. Help us In Jesus’ name, Amen !

Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Job 2:13

“So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.”
JOB 2:13

DEVOTION
Based on Job 2
Sometimes the deepest comfort we can offer isn’t found in words, but in presence. Job’s friends sat silently with him for seven days, acknowledging his suffering simply by being there. This verse reminds us of the sacred ministry of presence. When someone is hurting, it’s not our explanations that help most—it’s our compassion, stillness, and willingness to share the space of sorrow.

God is present in silence, too. When you don’t know what to say, show up anyway. Your quiet presence may be the loudest expression of love and support someone receives.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: God, You are near to the brokenhearted. You sit with us in silence and sorrow.

CONFESSION: I’ve rushed to speak when others simply needed me to listen or be present.

THANKSGIVING: Thank You for being a God who never leaves us alone in our pain. Thank You for sending people to walk with me in difficult seasons, even when no words were spoken.

SUPPLICATION: Lord, help me to be present in others' grief. Teach me to be still, to listen, and to carry pain without trying to fix it. Let me reflect Your comfort in quiet companionship. May I not fear silence but recognize it as holy when filled with love.

PRAYER
“So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.”
JOB 2:13
Dear Lord, We know that sorrow is inevitable in this life. Trials come and tragedy strikes, leaving us at a loss for words. It’s times like these when friendship is crucial. We pray that You would empower us to be tender-hearted to our friends who face tragedy. Give us wisdom to know when to speak, when to be silent, and when to reach out. Help us to be selfless during those times, and not look to please ourselves with vein advice and ill-timed platitudes. We want to be near as You are near, comforting as You are comforting, and wise as You are wise. Guide us in all these things. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🙏🏾
