Let the Weight of Heaviness Go
Hebrews 12:1, “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.”
Morning friends! Welcome to another day of life! Why not today let us bring any burden that is overwhelming us at this very moment and place it at the Father’s feet. With prayer and supplication let us ask God for assistance in carrying concerns/needs; anything that has brought us to the point of weariness. Let’s find the best way to let go of the weights of life in this world. Of course prayer and meditation are the first thing we should take time to do; and don’t use excuses to not make the time! Then ask others to life you up in prayer; creating a prayer warrior group. You don’t have to voice the burden, just tell them it is an unspoken request because God already knows, so they will be speaking on your behalf. It is so hard to actually let go or ask for assistance in anything due to some believing it shows weakness. But your weakness can become a strength due to how you use it! Every need we have can become a burden because we are asking with the wrong intent on how we need that burden lifted. And sometimes we want to help others but we allow negative thoughts to push in and say our own burdens are more important. God said to love and help others before ourselves and we would receive blessings beyond measures! So today, try putting your need on hold for a moment, then lift up someone else that needs help right now. That heaviness you are feeling will slowly start to diminish because you have let it go and given it to God! Then wait on the Lord, He is working to lift your need in His time; and there is a reason! Sometimes it is all about the wait and not the heaviness of the weight! Palms 28:7, “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.” Praise Him in the storms as well as the good times, and the heaviness will go.
