A devotional reflection on carrying one another’s burdens.

Topical

Bearing burdens is sharing the load of another’s sorrow. Scripture teaches that believers reflect Christ’s compassion when they support the hurting.

Bear ye one another’s burdens. (Galatians 6:2)

Weep with them that weep. (Romans 12:15)

A friend loveth at all times. (Proverbs 17:17)

Christian Application

Bearing burdens encourages believers that they do not walk through trials alone. Offer support, pray for others, and walk with the hurting.

Sample Prayer

Lord, help me bear the burdens of others with compassion and grace. Amen.
