The Bible says that we are to “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ” (Gal. 6:2).
Questions:
1. Do we sometimes suffer from compassion-fatigue and lose our interest in really listening to each other’s burdens?
2. What steps can we take in the local church to become a place where people are free to share their woes?

I admit that, especially in church, I am woe-
weary. Forgive me Lord and help me be more compassionate. Oh . . . Lord, could you please help your people learn to be woeful about your agenda instead of theirs? Ooops. Forgive me Lord. Amen.
