Why Must I Be Concerned With Everyone Else?

You might be feeling that you have the weight of everyone’s problem on your shoulders. You ever wonder why? I can tell you this, ordinary people won’t let other’s problems rest on their shoulders. This is a good indication that you’re not the average person. But it doesn’t resolve the issue you face of being the burden-bearer. 

“When I heard their complaints, I was very angry.” – Nehemiah 

Nehemiah heard the people’s complaint, it angered him and he felt obligated to do something about it. He made their problems his problem. Is that you?

[Pray This]Lord, could it be that in my situation I’m called to make their problems my problem? If this is the case, help me know what to do for their sake, in Jesus’ name.

Your Action: 
(What action based on your prayer can you take?)
I won’t run from the problems that I feel an obligation for, but rather do the only things I can to help eliminate the problems that only I can.
