In this episode, Chamy is determined to find a way to keep her parents from divorcing. She finally realizes that she needs to trust God instead.

When we see other people dealing with problems, we often want to try to fix things. We sometimes think we know the right thing to do. After all, the Bible tells us to warn others who are getting into trouble, encourage those who are sad, and help the weak (1 Thessalonians 5:14). We’re supposed to try to fix things, right?

We are supposed to help others, but we can’t do it with our own strength. And some problems are too big for us to fix—like when parents are fighting or getting divorced. When that happens, we need to stop thinking we can fix things. We need to ask God for his will to be done. He may not do what we want, but he promises to take care of us.

Want to dig deeper and learn more about letting God care for you and not trying to fix things yourselves? Check out Psalm 46:1; 2 Corinthians 12:7-10; and Philippians 4:6-7.
