The Update:

Although I am hurting because love and cherished friendship were ripped away from me suddenly and unexpectedly... I'm going to be okay.
I feel that God is close to me.

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. —Psalm 34:18

My God will tell me what to do, if I need to help him—and at the same time, He will mend my broken heart because He will never leave me, He will never forsake me. I fear that he is distant from God; that he has lost his faith, lost his way. I hope that he'll be led back to Christ, if he's lost. I hope that in time, he'll talk to me again. I hope God's working in him and He lets me help Him in that work.
