The sufferer may be broken, but not humbled. There is a difference. The broken person can sit in the dust of his catastrophe, while still relying on himself. The humble person can sit in the same place, but humbly acknowledge his need for the Almighty. With that kind of humility comes empowering favor from the LORD (James 4:6). The man, who can pray with open hands and no hidden expectations is setting himself up for God to impose Himself into the suffering. This kind of prayer-filled attitude softens the heart, which gives shape for the Father’s will to grow inside of us rather than our own agendas (Luke 22:42). The only way Jesus could index forward to His Father’s will was through the portal of prayer. rickthomas.net/seven-tips-to-help-your-friends-who-are-going-through-suffering/
