Exodus 17 11-16

"And so it was, when Moses help up his hand, that Isreal prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek Prevailed. But Moses' hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun."

Once you realize that your friend is in need, don't just stand there, figure out how you can help if possible. Any hand stretched out with the intention of helping, goes a long way! We may not be able to take on the task (trial/test) in its entirety that the individual is facing, bit what ever weight we can take off their shoulders will show that you are there for them, and that you care.

Think about how many times the Lord has stretched out his hand to help us, without question and without daubt. It is our job to do the same for others when we are in position to.
