Heart Sick.

Amy? Did you take this?

Do you guys ever feel heart sick? Like your heart feels like it is going to break into a million tiny pieces? I have three different people/families that my heart is just aching for. So much so that I feel SICK to my stomach when I think about all the trial they are going through, and all the trial that they may potentially be going through.

I long to take that ache away. I pray and hope that they don't have to go through so much heartache and sorrow, and yet, as I have gone through my own trials in life, I have seen how they have shaped me, moulded me, and brought me to the place I am in today. Do you think this is how Father feels?

He doesn't want to see us hurting, wishes and wants to take the pain away, but he just can't because he sees the whole picture?

Will you all pray for my friends? Pray for their families? Even though you don't know them? I'm so thankful for all of my blog friends, for all you are, for all you do. For me, and for those you have never met and will never meet! So very thankful for you.

For sure. My prayers are with you, your friends and family.

I think you are right on. I think it hurts our Father to see us hurting, but he knows this is the way to make us stronger and to become our best self. To prepare us for what lies ahead.

Count me in, I always feel better about my trials when I'm praying for someone else. I know what you are talking about being heart sick. You are such a good person I'm so glad to know you.

Sometimes prayer is all you can do for those that are struggling. Which is a great resource that is often left untapped. It is so hard to see others stuggle and to feel so helpless. It is true how Heavenly Father sees the whole picture and doesn't want us to hurt, unfortunately we see each other hurt and we don't see the whole picture so it is hard. Someone once told me it is a trial in and of itself to have a big heart ;) . How true that is, friend. That you have. The biggest heart ever. Oh how I know about the breaking into a million tiny pieces. Sometimes I think it has. Let me know if I can do anything for these people in your life. I will pray for them .

I feel like this all the time Kim - I see so many people around me going through the hardest trials I can imagine and sometimes I cry for them and other times I think - when is it my turn? Why were some people put here to go through more trials then others? I feel guilty sometimes for all my blessings. Then I realize - my blessings are a trial in a way because it's up to me to share them with those who don't have so many - with those who may feel they are not blessed at all. That is my mission in life I just hope I can fulfill it. But yeah - my heart breaks for other people all the time and sometimes I just can't stop crying for them. The temple helps. Prayer helps. He helps.
