“There is nothing wrong with letting people who love you help you.” -Uncle Iroh, “Avatar: the Last Airbender”
Once again, Uncle Iroh is completely correct. Life as a Christian is a long and narrow road, and there are bumps in it. Whether these bumps come from sin that we need to forsake or outside influences that are beyond our control, they can cause us to stumble. If you have a battle with a particular sin and you know that you can’t overcome it alone, ask for help! Ask for prayer from fellow Christians, and ask for advice from people you can trust, such as your parents or guardians, pastor, or any other godly person in your life. If they love you, they will be only too willing to help. And if the struggle is from the outside and you just don’t know where to turn, ask the people who love you! At the very least you can receive comfort and a person to rant to, and most of the time you’ll get some real, tangible help too. So when the road in front of you gets bumpy, don’t try to figure it out yourself. Let people help you.
