At times, we get so worried about someone

At times, we get so worried about someone we love, we want to save them.

May 4, 2025

At times, we get so worried about someone we love, we want to save them. We would do anything to save them, but they have no desire to be saved. We plea, beg and bargain with them but to no avail. We get frustrated with them because they do not understand nor see the journey they are taking and just how hard and dangerous it can be. So, in our humanness we pray for them, begging God for help. As people of God, we know life is filled with troubles and tribulations. And we know that sometimes all we can do is pray. So, we pray for those we are concerned about. Hoping and praying that this person will see the light. Romans 8:26-27 reads, “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he searches the hearts of men and knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” Today, whatever you are going through know and remember God is listening, God is there, and with God there is hope. So, continue to pray, for there is power in prayer. God Bless. Amen.
