As a missionary, I think there's a temptation to fly into any situation with a feeling that I will "fix" the problems surrounding me. Not only is this a bit ridiculous considering I have issues myself which aren't "fixed," but there's that pride of thinking I have the power. This only leads to discouragement and defeat.
I keep having to realize that God has put me here to help the best I can, and then let Him be the God He is. After all, He is the ultimate Rescuer. The best thing, and sometimes the only thing I can do in certain situations is pray. This is a highly under-rated thing which is sometimes relegated to the last resort. Now THAT'S ridiculous! What an honour to come before our great and loving God on behalf of someone I care about...and what a joy to wait with anticipation to see what He will do.
