Prayer

Pray for the people you can't fix.

There are people we love who are struggling in ways we can't reach. An addiction, an illness, a bad choice, a darkness we can't talk them out of.

We want to fix them. We can't.

What we can do is love them, set healthy boundaries, and pray for them. Light a candle in their name. Hand them over to a love that's bigger than ours.

It isn't giving up on them. It's admitting we were never meant to carry them alone.
