I absolutely loath watching friends go through trials with the knowledge that I can do nothing. I can't fix it. I can't stop it. I can't change it. I can't reverse it. I just have to sit here and watch.
It's absolutely hateful and I can't stand it.
I need to remember, however, that a) I have no power...but God does. b) God takes care of His children and c) I can intercede for them, and plead that the Holy Spirit intercede as well. d) I can send prayers and encouragement and e) I really couldn't handle the responsibility of 'fixing' my friends' problems.
This is sometimes a sign to me that I shouldn't be in law enforcement or counseling services. I would put too much responsibility on myself and, sooner or later, resort to violent means in order to protect those I love.
So here I sit. Prayerful. Sad. Upset.
Waiting for the day when we are all together in heaven, where no one will ever feel this pain again.
