What makes you feel helpless? For me, there are a couple of factors that contribute to feeling helpless. One is having no options, and the other is lack of clear direction. When I think that I’ve run out of options or I am not sure of the next step, I feel helpless.
John 4 tells the story of a government official who experienced his own version of helplessness…his son was dying. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to have been in his shoes. Last weekend in worship, one of our members shared a beautiful testimony about this very experience. I hope that you’ll take a moment and watch it. It’s a strong challenge that reminds us that though we may feel helpless, we are never hopeless.
