Come to me, all you who are
weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
The cure for a heavy heart, is the presence of Almighty God. There is
nothing in this life that is more fulfilling, or precious than the time
we spend seeking His face and laying every problem and care at His feet.
When we attempt to carry our burdens, we can end up consumed by our
troubles and spending endless hour’s wallowing in a pool of self-pity.
God is surely not edified, when we act in such a way. He invites us to
bring all of our cares to Him, releasing them to Him, as we immerse
ourselves in Him. He will speak comfort and wisdom to our hearts. Life
will continue to have its problems and disappointments, but we can be
assured our God is never annoyed by us, and always ready to listen and
lighten our load, replacing it with joy beyond comprehension; perfect
peace; a place to rest and to be renewed with a new sense of self worth
and purpose; a healing hand to sooth our wounds, and hope that will lead
us into tomorrow.
Prayer
Forgive me for feeling sorry for myself, and my feeble attempts to
handle my problems on my own. I thank You for the opportunity to come to
You with my cares and place them at Your feet. Your presence is a
sanctuary for my soul. I rest in You, as You replace my cares with a
refreshed spirit, a renewed mind, perfect peace, and unspeakable joy.
You are my love, my life, my hope, and my all. Amen.
