Tireless Assistance

I sometimes feel sorry for God. There are so many people who depend on Him for so much. I bet not even one moment goes by without someone somewhere in the world asking for His help. People ask Him for help with everything from saving souls to blessing food. I imagine that He might get tired of it. But, of course, my imagination can conjure up all sorts of nonexistent problems. God doesn't get tired of helping people, and there are at least three reasons why that's the case.

One, God has infinite time. Tie works differently for God that it does for us, if time even works on Him at all. God has all the time in the world to hear and answer each prayer one-by-one, even when many prayers come at Him at the same time, at all times. When He needs to, God can stretch out time or travel through it, so He can spend one-on-one time with everyone, even all at once.

Two, God has infinite energy. Helping everyone at all times sounds exhausting, but maybe that's only because I have a body that can get exhausted. God is perfect. His body is perfect. God cannot get tired or run out of energy or burn Himself out. Rather, God has all the energy He needs to work miracles for everyone, no matter how many miracles they need. God is omnipotent. He will never run out of power.

And finally, three, God has infinite love. God uses His time and energy to help us because He loves us, and just as His time and energy will never run out, His love will never run out, either. His infinite love motivates Him to continue to help us tirelessly, no matter how many needy souls there are or how much help we need. God will never stop wanting to use His infinite time and energy to help us because He will never stop loving us. God will always love us enough to want to help us, and He will always have the time and energy He needs to do so.

The rest is up to us. God will always want to help us, and He will always have the ability to help us. All He needs now is our permission. In order to help us, God needs us to accept His help, whether that means asking for it through prayer or making good use of it once we get it. God will never get tired of helping His children, but He still needs us to be willing to accept His help.

Sometimes I feel sorry for God for having so many people who need His help, and sometimes, I feel jealous of God for His inexhaustible ability to grant it.
