People are having a hard time. They are ashamed. They are suffering. They commit sins against Me. They do very evil things. When you see a need or hear about these things, pray to Me, your God in heaven. Help carry other’s heavy, burdensome loads.
Instead of going 1 mile with someone go 2 miles with them. When you feel burdened to pray for this person or situation, I desire to act on that person's behalf. I am a great and wonderful God. I keep the covenant I made with those I love and who obey My commandments.
I show them My love. When you do this, you are following the law of Christ. Fast for these situations. Abstain for the purpose of focusing on Me and what I have to say to you. You will activate My limitless power.
When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven. Then I said: “LORD, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments, let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess the sins we Israelites, including myself and My father’s family, have committed against you.
— Nehemiah 1:4-6
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
— Galatians 6:2
