What do you do when you are overloaded?

minimazing the burden
While you help people, it’s very important that you don’t over do it. If the people at yor church become dependant on you to the point that they start degrading, you’ve overdone it. If you’re helping a homeless person by letting them stay with you, and they’re not working or growing spiritually, at the same time demanding more and more of you: warn them that if they don’t start straightening their life out, they’ll have to move. I’ve had to do it with people. Such a measure either breakes off an unhealthy relationship or improves it to a healthy one. What do you do when you are overloaded?

WITH THAT SAID I USUSALLY GO TO MY PRAYER CLOSET AND I ASK THE THE LORD "AM I GETTING IN THE WAY OF THEIR SPIRITUAL GROWTH WITH THE FATHER BY DOING MORE THAN WHAT GOD HAS ASKED OF ME", HIS REPLY IS USUSALLY TO LOVE THAT PERSON BUT TO REMOVE MYSELF FROM THE SITUATION IN ORDER FOR "HIM" (THE LORD)TO TAKE COMPLETE CONTROL OVER THE SISTUATION. I THINK WE AS HUMANS AND BEING NOT ONLY SPIRITUAL IN NATURE BUT OF FLESH AS WELL WE TEND AS A WHOLE TO THINK WE CAN SAVE THIS PERSON,WHEN IN ALL REALITY GOD IS THE ONE WHO RESTORES ALL WE SHOULD DO AS CHRISTIANS IS ALLOW GOD TO USE US IN THE SISUATION TO HELP THAT PERSON GROW SPIRITUALLY CLOSER TO JESUS..

Hi,
Thank you for your kind words. Sometimes when I'm overloaded I talk to a friend and share my feelings. it makes me feel better. Sometimes, I like to take a hot bath to become "unoverloaded." So besides praying I use those methods. Do you ever minister in the area of evangelism? I'm a missionary in Russia. i'm looking for people to come and help me minister here. Do you know anyone who will be interested?
