Rain

I am sitting here in my office, watching the rain pour down outside my window and I can't help but feel that God is grieving with us.

Yesterday, two teenage girls in our youth group lost their mother to cancer. It was a long battle with an unexpected end. Our hearts are heavy for them.

It's times like this when I feel inadequate. If I were a Senior Pastor, maybe I'd have learned the words to say to a grieving family. If I were a counselor, I'd be able to delve deep into the grief with them. But instead, I'm just me. A youth worker whose heart goes out to these girls.

It seems there are times when all we can do is pray. To lift them up to the Lord and grieve alongside of them.
