Trying
Don't give up, but don't push too hard.
Pushing too hard just leads to resentment.
Did I push too hard?
Should I push harder?
Sometimes they seem to want my company.
Other times they seem very uncomfortable around me.
I'm confused.
Should I stay or go?
Trying to help.
Trying to comfort.
Trying to fix.
Trying to do ANYTHING to make it better, to make the pain go away.
When I try, I meet with resistance.
They question my motives.
Would I resist too?
Yes.
I don't want to be controlled.
I don't want to be controlling.
I don't want to be manipulated.
I don't want to be manipulating.
I want them to be well.
I want them to be whole.
I mirror the pain others feel.
I feel their aches as if they were my own.

I am praying a lot.
they will not be defeated but will endure forever.
2 Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forever.
3 The wicked will not rule the land of the godly,
for then the godly might be tempted to do wrong.
4 O Lord, do good to those who are good,
whose hearts are in tune with you.
5 But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O Lord.
Take them away with those who do evil. May Israel have peace!
