Taking on the world

I like to think of myself as a sympathetic and compassionate person.  And lately, I've really been feeling the weight of others' trouble; as if I'm walking through it with them.  Not that that's necessarily bad, but at this time in my life, I really don't need any added stress.  The most recent stressor being that Grady broke his arm last night.  How do I balance the compassionate side of me with keeping it from consuming my energy?

Please pray for me that I can find this balance without forsaking my ability to act as family and a friend.
