When someone you love is in a hard season, the hardest part is how little you can do. You cannot fix it, and they would not want you to pretend otherwise.

What you can do is pray, and say so. These six are short enough to send in a message and honest enough to mean it. Read one over them, or keep one on your home screen with Bible Widgets while their season lasts.
