I am impotent.

I am fine. And I have never been so broken. Though nothing has happened directly to me I look around at my family and I see the effect of sin on those I love and it is killing me. I want to be able to do something. In my head there has got to be a thing that fixes some of these problems.
I know that not every problem has a fix. But that doesn’t stop me from wishing that every problem does. It is probably the pride in me that would have me fix something than trust God to do his will on his timeframe.
This week, truly realizing that only God can do the work that is needed to fix people and situations is something that has been frustrating me entirely I do not want to be impotent. I want to be proactive. But sometimes the situation won’t have a solution I can solve, and other times the person won’t let anyone help.
So now is the time where I have to trust in Christ and his plan to deliver my friends from pain, from disease, from darkness and lies. I can do nothing. He can do everything. With no tangible solution for me to seek there is only one thing left for me to dive in to. Prayer. I will seek the Lord on behalf of my family and my friends. I will ask God to heal some, work out the gospel in others, and give faith that his plan is best to me.
Lord, help me.
