Jennifer's note: I asked for this channel today because several of my friends are facing very sad life issues. I cannot do anything for them, other than to send them prayers, love and light. I feel helpless and sad, even though I know that all is in divine order. My question to Uriel was why did this happen and why do I feel so helpless. This is his reply.

Your desire to help others is part of your commitment to be of service to all of humanity at this time. Do not confuse helping humanity with alleviating its suffering. You can reveal alternatives  that will present new potentials for understanding and action but even with the vibrational shifts, new energies, ascension and transformation, karma is still at work and soul contracts are being fulfilled. See beyond emotional consequences to the spiritual fulfillment that is being created . Many contracts involve separation, final resolution and choices that are made without consideration of others' pain or reactions.

You are only seeing the pain and sadness of others, not the full scope of their experience. This is a lifetime experience that represents the completion of energies gathered over many lifetimes within a soul group. Each one chooses the most powerful path they can connect with and although their choices may seem weak and powerless to you, in reality they represent their decision to release energies in ways that make them feel powerful.

Every journey has a happy ending, although how that transpires is not always a joyful occasion for all involved. Many souls are now able to choose outcomes they have never been able to manifest before, and that includes how and when they will end their human cycle. For some this will be to work from the spiritual realms, rather than continuing their path in a human form. For others this will be to experience humanity without spiritual partnership. All of these choices represent a chosen path of experience in this lifetime.

Your help cannot be in the form of altering someone's path, releasing them from the results of their choices, or removing pain from their lives. You can send love and light, see everyone in their most powerful aspects and know that all are choosing from their believed point of power. Allow everyone to fulfill their chosen destiny and release their karma. Remember that all is in divine order and stay connected with spirit, for this is where you will find the peace and understanding you need in these times.
