From the indispensable explore faith web site:

I have grown certain that God actually mourns these horrible events with us, that God is as sad, even more so, about what is happening to me as I am. God's role, I have felt, is to be “by my side,” to understand me, to comfort me, to “lead me beside still waters... [and] restore my soul” (from Psalm 23) in the metaphorical “Valley of Death” which I face, as does every other person in the world.
