Helping people by praying for them and giving them what they need is at the center heart of God. The Bible is full of stories, outcome testimonies and promises that are for all circumstances in life, and for extreme cases.
We believe and rely on them with expectation.
The believer that is made alive in the Lord is always ready to help and pray. Giving is always joy and it makes us feel full of the power of God's love to perform it. However, I want to mark out how there are certain individuals that we come across that are very desperate, in dire straits, facing impossible situations.
We spring into action because we love them and want them delivered. But there is a problem. Many times there is frustration because as much intense prayer, and working with them, teaching and sharing the word, they are never better. There is never any change. There is such a feeling of failure on our part. I have experienced these things many times in my life.
We are never to be weary in well-doing, but there are things God has to teach and show us. Therefore, we are to go through these effects ultimately to trust God and Him alone completely for them.
This is not a compensatory saying but one of wisdom. We must learn that there is no one more merciful than Jesus Christ Himself. We have to learn to bow and give them up to the Lord with as much joy we had when we first started to believe for them. And then go on quietly.
"A whole lot of what we call 'struggling' is simply delayed obedience."
- Elisabeth Elliot
