You love helping people. But when did their problems become your responsibility?
You are the one people call when life falls apart. You listen, encourage, offer advice and somehow manage to find solutions nobody else has considered.
And when they don't follow your perfectly sensible advice? Well, perhaps you just need to explain it one more time
Sound familiar?
Not Everything Is Yours to Fix is a warm, honest and sometimes humorous exploration of what happens when caring for others becomes carrying responsibilities God never intended us to carry.
Through relatable everyday experiences, biblical wisdom, gentle challenges and moments of self-recognition, Hazel Walters invites readers to examine the difference between helping and controlling, compassion and obligation, and faithful love and unhealthy responsibility.
Inside, you'll explore how to:
Help others without taking over their lives.
Accept that people may choose differently from you.
Say no without allowing guilt to make the decision.
Recognise when your desire to help has become a need to be needed.
Offer guidance without becoming responsible for the outcome.
Accept help yourself without feeling weak or inadequate.
Trust God with the things that were never yours to control.
With twelve thoughtful chapters, Scripture-based insights, personal reflection questions and closing prayers, this book encourages women to love deeply while learning to carry their responsibilities more wisely.
You don't have to stop caring. You just have to stop believing that caring means fixing everything.
