For the last couple of weeks I have felt inadequate. This feeling of inadequacy comes from not knowing how to help someone else. Someone who has become a good friend recently gave her heart over to Jesus. I was beyond happy for her. I had been praying for her for a few years and having that prayer answered was amazing.
Not long after this happened it appeared that a major hope was being answered for her. I was excited for her. I hoped it all would work out and increase her faith and relationship with God. Then it all went wrong.
I don't know how to help. I have prayed for her. I have given her things. I have even laughed with her. But I don't know how to help her deal with her feelings toward God.
I know that she is having trouble with this. I pray that she will turn to Him. I pray that she will realize that He didn't do this to her, He didn't abandon her. I want to tell her it's okay to let Him know exactly how she is feeling toward Him. Even if she's angry with Him, she can tell Him. He can take it. I feel inadequate to help her know that He is the comfort she is seeking.
I will continue to pray. I know He answers. He won't make her turn to Him. He won't force Himself on her. It has to be her who turns to Him. I pray that she will hear His voice because He is still talking to her. I pray that she will find that He is the answer even to the hardest, most heart wrenching troubles she may face.

What Can I Do?
What can I do?
I saw something today on the way home and it made me want to cry. I will not describe it, but it was suffering, that's all I can say. It filled me with questions. I asked them of God. The why questions. The ones we have all asked at some point.
In the end the only question that brought any sort of sense. What can I do? That seemed to be the right question. I can ask all the whys in the world, but what really matters is doing what God wants me to do.
It isn't easy to do what He asks, at times. Sometimes it doesn't make any sense. Sometimes there is no way to explain it to anyone. Sometimes it hurts, but only for a time and then the hurt is totally worth the outcome, the change that takes place in me.
So even thought I don't know the answer to the question I will keep asking it. God, what can I do?
