My friend lost her husband and I thank God for making me stay strong for my friend, such that I can focus on my duties and sing Gloria as well as Alleluia at mass. However, certain things can trigger the sadness. A song which I wanted to show her but haven't got the chance to and seeing her break down. Still, even the strong at heart are susceptible to emotion, as my friend told me.
O God You Search Me
O God you search me and you know me
All my thoughts lie open to your gaze
And in all that I do you are before me
Ever the Maker and keeper of my day
You are my resting and rising
You discern my purpose from afar
And with love everlasting you besiege me
At every moment of life and death you are
Although your spirit is upon me
I still seek shelter from your wings
There is nowhere on earth I can escape you
Even the darkness is radiant in your light
I met this friend a week after the proceedings and at that time, she was still very bad in coping with the issue. I felt heartpain at seeing her and broke down while praying for her. I felt so helpless but I knew that the only thing I could do for her was to pray for her. Indeed, God answered our prayers and she was much better in a shorter time than expected. When I met up with her the following week, she was back to normal and could talk about him and the proceedings too. I was heartened to see that. I was also glad to realise that our friendship was not different even though we had lost touch over time.
God has planned a future for her and He has thus kept His word that He will take care of her.
When I think about the heavens, the moon and all the stars
I wonder what you ever saw in me
But you took me and you loved me
And you've given me a home
And now I praise your name eternally
