Sadness

In the last few days I have heard of marriage separations and ill advised decisions.  Not only heard of, but heard directly — from the “horse’s mouth”.

This is more than just the usual daily fare.  These have come piling in, more long the line of a summit of sadness, rather than a mole hill of distractions.

My heart has been punched and pummeled on behalf of others.  Some have accepted my offers of support, others are not sure they are ready to change.  And others?  I don’t know what to do.

So, pray for those around you.  Pray that they will be strong.  Pray that they will be humble.  Pray that they will accept help.  Pray that they will seek counsel.  Pray that God will break in where no one else can. 

And then, pray one more time, because now the only prayer left is one of helplessness and complete trust in God.  Just where we need to be!  Because when the answer comes, only God can get the credit.
