· Galatians 6:2
Carrying one another’s burdens also means allowing others to help carry ours. You do not have to wait until you are exhausted to make a request. Be specific about what would help and allow someone else the freedom to respond.
A question to sit with
What burden am I carrying alone unnecessarily?
One small step
Ask a trusted person for practical support.
Pray
Lord, give me humility to receive care as well as offer it. Amen.
