Have you ever had a time where you couldn't help someone because you just couldn't. It may have been an instance where they didn't need something physically, you couldn't cheer them up, or you just didn't know what to do for them because maybe they didn't even know what they needed. I've experienced that. It has happened many times but one time it happened within two days there were two instances where I was powerless to help someone I loved.
The first time
was when he didn't feel well. All I could do was give him meds and offer to get
him something if he felt he needed it. Then I just sat there and watched as he
was in pain. The next day he said he didn't have the greatest day because he
was with a childhood friend who was struggling. I didn't know what was said in
the conversation, but it was weighing on him. I tried distracting him, but I
don't think I was that successful.
In both
situations I was powerless. I wanted to have something I could do, something I
could fix. Something I could fight for him. But I couldn't. So, what I did in
both situations is I prayed silently. I prayed for healing. I prayed for
strength. I prayed for God to move in his life.
Prayer is
powerful. It is always powerful. But it is especially powerful when there's nothing,
we can do ourselves. It's the first step we should take instead of the last.
It's what we should do in every instance and not just use it as a cop out. You
are not powerless because you have the God who created everything on your side.
He loves you and created prayer so he could have a relationship with you. Are
you conversing with him and asking him to move in your life?
