[Cheryl "The Earthly Angel"]

Holy God and loving Father, I consciously place my fears, worries, anxieties, and burdens in your hands. I know that I have so little power to change the outcome of these events and I trust that you will work what is pleasing to you, and best for me, out of these situations. Forgive me for my anxious thoughts and for letting my own worry become an idol that robs you of my full trust. Strengthen and empower me to trust you more by the power and presence of your Spirit. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

 

Again, I understand the part about a friend is always loyal. But I don't get the part about a brother being born to help in time of need. I really am trying to understand.

I think God is trying to say that we were created with each other in mind. God we know created us for himself but I am created for my friend and my friend for me. The idea is God had You in mind for someone else in Your life to be a friend in need. That's my take on it at least.
