Day 27: Carry One Another’s Burdens

Devotion:
Sometimes life feels unbearably heavy, and the truth is, we’re not meant to carry those burdens alone. God designed us to walk alongside one another, sharing the weight and offering support. Helping someone with their burdens doesn’t mean you have to solve all their problems or fix everything—it’s about being present, showing you care, and reminding them they’re not alone.

Jesus sets the ultimate example of this. He meets us in our struggles, walks with us through our pain, and gives us the strength we need to keep going. When we do the same for others, we reflect His love and grace in a powerful way. Sometimes, the most meaningful thing you can do is simply show up, listen, and let someone know you’re there for them.

Today, think about someone in your life who might be carrying a heavy load. How can you offer your support? Maybe it’s a phone call, a kind word, or even just sitting with them in silence. Whatever it is, trust that your presence and care can make a difference. By walking alongside others, you’re sharing God’s love in a way that brings comfort, hope, and strength.

Prayer:
Jesus, help me to see the needs around me and offer support where I can. Teach me to carry others’ burdens with compassion and love. Amen.
