Are you heavy burdened today? Me, too! It started last night for me. Dealing with the repercussions of divorce is hard. However, getting a front row seat and sitting by helplessly as you watch your children deal with it is just too much. I thought by the time I went to bed that I was good. I had prayed and surrendered their broken hearts with determined trust. However, this morning the heaviness was back. What I appreciate is that God knew we would have moments and even days like this!
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7
“Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken”. Psalm 55:22
I am so thankful that the heaviness I was feeling this morning was unwarranted and became obsolete in the presence of my Lord. The song below is the song that God placed on my heart to hush my anxious thoughts and sound the battle cry of my heart. An invitation to lay my burdens down in complete surrender. Honestly, the first few times I listened to it involved the ugly cry….laying down those we hold so dear is hard! Especially for us momma bears! But, I was determined. By the 10th time of repeating it (okay, it wasn’t quite that many times, ha!) my heart finally found release. This ole flesh is stubborn, ya’ll! The struggle is real! But God! He is so patient and gracious! What about you, my friend? Can I encourage you to make the time, find a song, and worship your King in the midst of your troubles! Choose to cast your burdens at the feet of Him who longs to be your Burden-bearer! Your circumstances will most likely not immediately change, but God WILL sustain you by His sufficient grace and His powerful presence! You were not meant to be the one to carry those heavy burdens. Jesus paid a high price to take all of your unwanted baggage upon Himself. Sweet one, you are free! God’s got you and will take care of the things that compete for the consumption of your mind space. How are we able to cast those burdens onto Jesus? We can do this because we trust that He cares of us and those we love. It is a beautiful act of faith! It is strategic warfare! As we lay our burdens down we rise victorious! Go and be victorious today!
Blessed is She
