A prayer to pray now

Father, Galatians 6 says to "bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." There are people in my life carrying a lot right now. Some are grieving. Some have family stress. Some are sick. Some are worried about money. Make me a quiet help to one of them. Not a fixer. A burden-sharer. The law of Christ is not a checklist. It is a steady looking out for others, especially the ones it would be easier to look past. Help me be honest about where I am this week. Sometimes I am the one who needs help. Sometimes I am the one who can help. Either way, do the law of Christ in me as I am able. Most burdens get lighter when they are shared. Make me willing to share one, in either direction, this week. Amen.
