How do you handle yourself spiritually when there is a problem?

How do you handle yourself spiritually when there is a problem?  You be the one to decide what “spiritually” means and what “problem” means. Examples might be: I have a good friend who often calls to chat during business hours, which is her only free time.  I let her know I want to be available to her if she truly needs me, but I don’t have time to simply chat.  Lately she’s manufactured some emergencies that she says need my attention.  That would be the problem, to use that word.  How I handle this “spiritually” is to let her know I truly love her and care for her wellbeing, but that I cannot be the first person she calls.  I recognize that I have prioritized other responsibilities, and I trust her close personal friends to make time available for her.  If they cannot, I am totally and happily there for her.

So now you, how do you handle yourself spiritually when there is a problem?
I would love to hear your comments.
