“If you are pushing a string ... it will not work.”
Many times in your life, you may feel compelled to "fix" someone. People often need encouragement and support but you cannot fix the way they approach concerns in their life. Spending time and energy trying to "fix" someone is exhausting, and a waste of energy. The best thing that you can do is provide people with encouragement, and pray with them.
Have you ever been frustrated by trying to push a string?
Galatians 6:9
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
