My Burden, My Help!

The Lord is faithful in all he says; He is gracious in all He does. The Lord helps the fallen and lifts up those bent beneath their loads. Psalm (145:13-14). Life has become a grind for most of us! We have so many responsibilities and so much work that we can’t see any way to get it all done, and even if we did, a new pile of weighted responsibilities come the next day. The load can be the burden of  praying for a loved one who doesn’t have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, worry of financial trouble or, despair over circumstances that seem to never change. Whatever the situation, God delights in helping the fallen and to help us up when we’re bent under our own personal load. When our hearts and burdens are heavy, we can give them to God and ask Him to lift our hearts and show us His faithfulness.”Lord! Please be the glory and the lifter of our heads!” Amen. “The Lord is kind and merciful….He showers compassion on all His creation (Psalm 145:8-9).

TO PRAY IS TO LET JESUS INTO OUR LIVES. HE KOCKS AND SEEKS ADMITTANCE, NOT ONLY IN THE SOLEMN HOURS OF SECRET PRAYER; HE KNOCKS IN THE MIDST OF YOUR DAILY WORK, YOUR DAILY STRUGGLES, YOUR DAILY “GRIND.” THAT IS WHERE YOU NEED HIM THE MOST.  Ole Hallesby (1879-1961)
