Are you the person that people don’t mind calling when something is going on? Do you show up and support others when times get tough? That’s a good thing – God wants us to be reliable and dependable. God wants us to be available to those who are in need – those in trouble!
But, who do you call on when you are going through a tough time? Where do you find support when you are struggling?
Unfortunately, in this world, those who give the most and are found the most reliable are frequently the loneliest and the most overlooked! If this is you, or how you are feeling right now, I want you to take a risk.
Ask for help. Sometimes our drive to serve causes us to suppress our own real needs for support and encouragement. Before long, we find ourselves in a deficit. And while we may continue to show up and make ourselves available – it does not bring us joy. Rather than invigorate and enliven us, it just saps our strength and leaves us feeling wrung out and weary. Ask for help.
Take the risk. Remind people that you are human. Remind them that you have needs. Dare to trust someone enough to lean on them. Everybody needs somebody – no matter how strong we are!
I know it’s frightening and the possibility of being disappointed is real. But what are you really risking? You are already disappointed and probably feeling a little overwhelmed, huh?
Ask for help!
You may be surprised by who shows up and is willing to bless you as you’ve blessed others!
Ask for help!
Good Morning, I love you all!
