I have affixed my sorrows
to Your heart
like ornaments,
like prayers.
I am choosing to trust
in Your strength,
Your glory,
Your ability
to bear these
burdens
into the Light
of resurrection.
Lord, You carried the weight of all of our sorrows and sins to the grave and rose from the dead, proving Your great love and power once and for all. You did it all for us and our well being, forgiving us and putting our needs ahead of your own. Teach us to trust in the power of Your resurrection. Give us the grace to let go of these burdens, which are weighing us down. Help us let go of our sorrows and place them into Your loving heart, where they will surely rise and glorify Your name. Increase our faith, hope and trust in You. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Where are you on your journey of letting go and trusting God with the burdens of your heart? Comment below and I’ll be delighted to keep you in my prayers.
