- With Friends Like This... Who Needs Enemies?Job 16. I’m going to begin with some of the most difficult things I’ve heard said in the midst of tragedy. Particularly death of someone who was loved. The mild: I have heard well intentioned people, who legitimately mean well- say, “If there’s anything I can do- and we all know that nothing can be done.”…sermons.faithlife.com

Everybody should have a friend like Ralph. He can fix a lamp or a lawn mower, refinish furniture, build bookshelves. All by himself he has transformed his garage into a workshop and completely remodeled his mother's house.
One day, marveling at these results over coffee, I asked, "Ralph, where did you learn to do all this?" Thoughtfully he sipped his coffee, his blue eyes twinkling. Then Ralph gave me the word of his own special prayer:
Jesus stand beside me.
Guide me and direct my life.
Teach me what I need to know.
Help me with my work.
Let me serve you and others,
That I may be worthy of God's grace.
Ralph's special prayer has become a part of my own life now. I say it every morning. And all day. Whenever I am anxious or confused about a situation, one phrase comes to my rescue: "Teach me what I need to know." Of all the things Ralph has done to help me, his prayer has helped most of all.
