Lord,
Sometimes I want to hide. The things you've called me to feel too big. There are days I want to shrink back. All that is required of me in motherhood, my job, homemaking, fill in the blank, is very overwhelming. The weight is heavy. Lord, I'm so thankful that it is never too much for you to carry. I release control of these burdens and I give them to you. You are my load barer. Why do I always forget that you want to me to place these burdens at your feet? Lord, you have created me for a purpose and you have intentionally placed me in specific roles in my life. I can't fulfill these roles without you. I know I will continue to feel the need to shrink back unless I allow you to lead the way. Thank you for showing up and showing off even when I'm resisting and doubting it all. Thank you for leading the way for me when I don't feel qualified or motivated to move forward. Your plans for me exceed anything I could plan for myself. I want my life to be a story of redemption and hope. I will praise you and give you all the glory, for with you the yoke is easy and the burden is light.
AMEN.
Verse:
Matthew 11:28-30
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for you souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
