against the ropes

it's strange...sad...confusing... and inspiring in a way (that i need to pour into people more, test the more, and continually grow...) but anyway my point is that when some Christ followers find themselves in a hard situation, they think it's something THEY need to handle. i'm not talking hard like, well i just really need that new phone or whatever..(bad example..) BLAHH...i mean big stuff. health issues, financial issues, marital struggles, extended family arguments. i guess situations that have no simple answer, no easy resolution. i know i'm being vague but i guess it's in my effort to not reveal my personal circumstances......................ok so back to the point which is WHEN these types of situations arise, all of a sudden these people who you thought were God trusting, explode into swearing ranting fireballs who destroy everyone in their path...b/c they're carrying this burden on THEIR OWN SHOULDERS........and as the observer in this situation, how do we try to bring them back to a reliance on God, in the midst of their explosion....i've found it's the last thing they want to hear (maybe b/c deep down somewhere they know i'm right?????)



what do you do when you find out that all they were doing is wearing a mask that got knocked off when they were thrown against the ropes??
