Hey, we're so glad you're here with us today. This is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, and today we're

continuing in an inspiring series when you're hoping for a miracle. Now, in this series, Pastor Rick

is guiding us through God's Word and showing us how to strengthen our faith and live with greater love, peace,

patience and self-control, even when life feels hopeless.

Now if you've been longing for a breakthrough, you're not going to want to miss this.

And now, a very touching message from Rick, it's part two of a message called When a Friend

is Dying.

Now, what are the fears that you have with people who are dying?

Well, you're afraid you're going to say the wrong thing.

You're afraid that you're going to make matters worse.

You're afraid that you're going to mess up.

And so, as a result, you don't do do anything let me tell you something as a pastor who has been

i couldn't with i couldn't count the number of people i've been with as they took their last breath

i have watched many many people die and i've been there in the rooms with them many many

times it is almost impossible to mess it up many, many people die. And I've been there in the rooms with them many, many times.

It is almost impossible to mess it up. Let me just put your mind at ease. There's almost

nothing you can say to a dying person that's going to mess them up except, ooh, you look bad. But outside of that, almost nothing you can say,

it's not like you're going to spill the beans and say you're dying. They know that. They already

know it. And just you being there will make a difference. For those of you who haven't been around somebody dying, death is really quite ordinary.

There's nothing spooky about it.

No ghost comes out.

There's nothing weird or wicked.
