As Christians, we are called to share and participate in the happiness and the sadness of others.
"Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep
with them that weep." (Romans 12:15 KJV)
One very good way to do this is to find suitable poems and prayers, then
give them to the other person.
It would actually be a good idea for every Christian to start a collection of poems and prayers to use in such occasions. (Maybe even write some yourself, if He leads you to do this.)
I maintain Public Domain collections of poems and prayers which you are free to use. The poems are kept at http://patriot.net/users/bmcgin/poems.html, and the prayers are kept at http://patriot.net/users/bmcgin/prayer4you.html.
PLEASE DISREGARD ANY COPYRIGHT NOTICES YOU FIND AT THESE LOCATIONS. ALL OF THIS MATERIAL IS NOW IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
Here is a good example of a prayer/poem to send to someone who is unhappy:
"When All Seems Bleak And Dreary"
When all seems bleak and dreary in your life;
When every step is weighted down with care;
When each new day seems like the day before it;
I pray the Lord will brighten up your sky.
I pray He sends a robin to your birdbath;
I pray He brings a package to your door;
I pray you get a phone call from a loved one;
I pray the Lord, Himself, will sing to you.
