Ushering in this new year we want to make sure there isn’t anything weighing us down or distracting us from the path heading towards our destiny. Hebrews 12:1 declares: Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
Father Lord, I feel like a million tons of weight is hanging over my head right now. I feel exhausted, stressed, and overwhelmed, even though I just woke up. My heart is racing. This burden on my shoulder is way too heavy for me to carry alone. Lord, I need you now more than ever. I can no longer pretend like I can help myself. As I go out today, show yourself strong for me. My God is all-powerful and can do immeasurably more than all I ask or imagine. So, today Lord, help me to safely anchor myself to you. Help me to recognize and accept your divine help when I see it today. I receive the grace to depend on you and not on myself. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Scriptures
Psalm 16:8 – “I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.”
Psalm 90:17 – And may the Lord our God show us his approval, and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful!
Prayer from Christians TT.
As I have blogged at one time or another, depression is a frequent visitor to my brain. I am past suicidal considerations; that train left long ago. But the depression that took me close to that abyss often comes calling still. Refusing medication, I simply find a place to cry “alone” even though with Jesus, I know I’m never completely abandoned. So we cry together until the fog lifts or responsibilities come calling. And we walk on together, knowing someday He will wipe away every tear, and that is enough. Praying for you, dear friend, and weeping a little tonight for what you are going through.
❤️&🙏, c.a.
