Sometimes, I’m engulfed,
with other people’s problems
I try so very hard . . .
to help them to resolve them.
I know all they really need,
is for me to hear them out
as we pray for Jesus to take
their worries and their doubt.
Sometimes, all they want,
is a friendly ear to share
the reasons for their fears
and causes for their despair.
I know all they really need,
is for me to empathize
as we try to find God’s peace
for them to internalize.
Sometimes, I’m powerless,
when listening to others needs
and the only way to help them . . .
is to get down on my knees!

James 5:16
King James Version
“Confess your faults one to another,
and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.
The effectual fervent prayer
of a righteous man availeth much.”

Yes, women especially fall into that trap of trying to solve others problems–we can’t, and it’s usually destructive for both parties to try. God bless you BIG today!

Praying for them when we don’t know what to do is the best thing, the Lord will guide us on what to do.
