please help me with this

Faithut166,
This is just me, but I know HIM well enough that I take my needs directly to HIM.
I also don't go and ask the pastor to pray for everything I need because I know how
to ask myself. I don't need someone to do what I can do myself. I grew up in a family
of eleven children. I was the eldest daughter, having one older brother by 14 mos. I
learned early in life how to feed myself, do a lot of things for myself. There were nine
siblings younger than myself. Some of us had to learn to do some things for ourselves
early on. I helped do many things for my younger siblings. Didn't think a thing about it.

Many in the church today, do not know how to pray for themselves, help with the new
"babies", etc. They run to the pastor with ever little situation. Many pastors are worn
out from "feeding, teaching, babysitting, etc., older "babies" who parents didn't teach
them to look to God for anything. Just ask Pastor. I know people who wouldn't teach
their children, but would tell their kids, "You'll have to ask pastor whether you can do
or not do this. The pastors have their own families. God didn't call him to raise others
children. The "training up in the way they should go", is the parents responsibility!

Some pastors may love it so, but it should not be. We have a Bible and the Holy Ghost
to lead and guide us. Make room for the "new converts or babies." Many need to grow up
in Christ"!
There are those who ask me to pray for them for situations and I am happy to do so. Now
instead of telling them, "Yes, I'll be praying for you, I start praying right then. That way
they will learn how to pray themselves. Children learn by example and "big kids can too!
Never too late too learn. Hugs!
