I Can Help, But...: A Story Devotional About Boundaries, Balance, and Letting Others Show Up

Nia has always been the one with answers. When friends bring her problems, she finds solutions. When teammates fall behind, she steps in. When people she loves need support, she gives-and gives.But what happens when helping becomes carrying? When good advice sounds like control? When being needed starts to feel like the only proof that you matter?Inspired by author Shechinahglory Tucker's personal experiences, I Can Help, But... follows Nia and her friend Selah as they learn how to care for others without losing themselves. Through eight faith-centered story devotions, readers explore healthy boundaries, shared responsibility, emotional balance, asking before giving advice, receiving help, and leaving room for others to contribute.Each devotion includes a relatable story, Scripture reading, reflection questions, prayer, and practical challenge.Written for middle-school readers and older, I Can Help, But... reminds us that generosity is a gift-and wisdom protects it.
