The sorrow of my friends is my sorrow

I've been through a few really tough times in my life. I've just found out that one of my best friends is now going through something terribly similar.
I hate this feeling, like watching a car wreck knowing that
you can't do anything to help...
you can't do anything at all...
just watch like a documentary....
and hope, and pray that God would be most glorified...
and that he would do as he does...
and work a miracle...

Psalm 10.14
But you, O God, do see trouble and grief;
you consider it to take it in hand.
The victim commits himself to you;
you are the helper of the fatherless.
