What to say to someone to comfort them when they are down about life and their job?
What are some comforting things to say to your boyfriend when he is going through hardships. From time to time he gets really down about not finding a job that he at least halfway enjoys. I mean the reality is that there is no perfect job out there, but he has two degrees and yet works for a restaurant as a waiter. Hes extremely unhappy with his current job. He is highly intelligent, extremely hard working, very giving, always does for others. I feel his pain. I mean I get plenty of job offers and have a simple high school diploma. I don't know . He's a very spiritual person. Strongly belives in God, very honest. Almost want to say honest to a fault. He would like a job in business or accounting somewhere. The problem is that he doesnt have experience. Hes been working this restaurant job for almost 5 years. He put himself through college through this job. What to say to him to comfort him? Thanks.

You know, people think that there's something wrong with them if they are sad. The truth is that it's pathological to never feel sad.
I know it's hard to watch him go through this difficult time, but he needs to see it through. If he goes through it mindfully, he'll come out of the experience stronger.
Another thought-- completely practical, though-- that comes to mind is that as a waiter he must have some regular customers. Some of them might know someone looking for a worker with his qualifications.

God uses problems to draw you closer to himself. The Bible says,"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, he rescues those who are crushed in spirit" Psalm 34:18
Your most profound and intimate experience of worship will likely be in your darkest days---When your heart is broken, when you feel abandoned, when you're out of options, when the pain is great---and you turn to God alone. it is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heartfelt, honest-to- God prayers. When we're in pain, we don't have the energy for superficial prayers.

Tell him from me that he has a very nice girlfriend and that is a very big thing. Not many people have everything they want.
