Potholes on a Path of Prayer

My friend is not well.
Jesus, help him?
Wait - do I mean "help him" as in "just make it better," or do I mean "give him yourself"?
Well... I can't ask you to impersonally improve things for him and then back off, like a fairy godmother.
But I'm not sure that he wants you.
And based on my experience, I can't assert that having you is clearly a good thing. It doesn't seem to make things better.
It's hard to ask more for them than what you give me. You teach me who you are by who you are to me. And I don't think I wish that for them.
Makes prayer hard.
I'm sorry.
Jesus, help me?
