I’m also an empath and can feel people’s burdens and pains, sometimes physically as well. That’s not always fun. It was exhausting and can be still. I have to remember to give it to God constantly it’s not mine to be carrying it. Right now is a bit tough because the pains of the world. I’m praying a lot sometimes I don’t even know what words to speak but thank God he knows the desires of my heart. I don’t want to give into the heaviness that I’m experiencing but I believe this is part of the process! I pray Gods spirit will pour down upon us, in us through us. Like Pentecost in Acts
