When You Can’t Fix It
Scripture Reading
“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” — Exodus 14:14
Devotional Thought
There are moments in this work when you realize something painfully clear:
you cannot fix this.
You can’t undo what’s been done.
You can’t heal trauma with effort alone.
You can’t rescue everyone.
That truth can feel crushing.
In the work of justice and rescue with Free International, we step into stories that leave us desperate for control — desperate for outcomes, closure, and visible victory. But Scripture meets us in our helplessness and says something that almost feels offensive in the moment: Be still.
Stillness doesn’t mean indifference.
It doesn’t mean disengagement.
It means releasing the illusion that everything depends on you.
God fights battles we cannot see. He carries pain we were never meant to hold alone. And sometimes the most faithful act is not doing more — but surrendering what is breaking us.
If you feel powerless this week, you’re not failing.
You’re standing in a place God knows well.
Let Him fight for what you can’t fix.
Reflection Questions
Where have you been carrying responsibility that was never yours to bear?
What does “being still” look like in the middle of active obedience?
How might releasing control deepen your trust in God’s role as Defender?
Prayer
God, I confess how often I try to carry what only You can handle. I’m tired, and I don’t know how to fix what I see. Help me release control without losing compassion. Fight the battles I cannot fight, and give me peace where answers are missing. Amen.
