Pray for the "go to" person

Dear Friends-
I hope this email finds you happy and at peace.

Dear Friends, I ask that you spend some time praying for those people in your life who support you- your "go to" people. Every time we need to get something off your chests, these are the people whose shoulders we rest our problems on. Most times, they're there for us with strong shoulders to lean on and an open ear. But what happens when they need help? Who's there for the ones who give us wise counsel?
God put those special people in our lives to bring us comfort and support. If they're listening and helping with our issues, they're probably doing the same thing for someone else. Call and check on them sometime. They may say, "all is well" but they need to know that someone cares enough to ask. Thank God for these "go to" people and pray that the Lord is hearing whatever they stand in need of.

If you're reading this and you are the "go to" person, I pray for you. I pray you receive the peace and reassurance that others seek from you. God has gifted you with wise counsel and the responsibility is great. I pray that your spirit remains light and your steps remain quick as you carry out the Lord's work with your advice. No matter how tired or frustrated you feel, there is no one who can give you the peace that God can. The ones who try, they may become frustrated because they don't know how to help; the ones who think they're helping, may not be. "Under the sun, the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all ( Ecclesiastes 9:11).
Your gift of vision and advice was given to you to share with God's people, not necessarily to receive. Your purpose in life is to draw men closer to him and God wants His light to shine and illuminate the darkness.
I pray that God renews your spirit quickly, so you can move forward and do His work.

Stay blessed,
K.
