Help Needed!
Strength, self-sufficiency, and independence are usually admirable traits — especially in our self-help society. However, there are times help is not only needed but should be openly welcomed. It is true that Paul said “…every man shall bear his own burden…” but he also said, “…bear ye one another’s burdens….” (Galatians 6:2-5)
Perhaps it is significant that when the ‘burden’ becomes ‘burdens,’ Paul encouraged sharing the load. Even Jesus did not carry His cross alone. “…Simon a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.” (Luke 23:26)
The WNOP has strong and broad shoulders to help bear the burdens of many. Not only do we share personal burdens , but we are able to impact world events. Often we have missionaries tell us that the very week they were on the request list , they were especially helped and blessed.
Thank you – all of you- who consistently share the load and help bear the burdens of others by agreeing together in prayer for the multiple requests.
We are …”helping together by prayer…” (II Corinthians 1:11)
