Steve continues our Prayer-Shaped Life series looking at Matthew 6 and Luke 10.

He starts by asking the question - How do we stay compassionate and pray Your will be done?

We are asked to remember that prayer doesn't make us responsible for everything, it makes us available for something. Compassion fatigue looks like still helping but without tenderness; giving but only giving the least. To stay compassionate without being crushed, we need Jesus to teach us how to pray.

The story of the Good Samaritan demonstrates how he did the extra, stayed committed and gave costly mercy. Jesus tells us to go and do likewise.

The outcome belongs to God the obedience belongs to us
