"Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 NLT-

Lord, thank You so much for this message. Thank You that I am reminded that this burden is light and that You did not intend for me to carry all of these alone. Lord, thank You and yes Lord, I have friends that I can turn to specially these trying times of my life.

Lord, I know that this family can weather this storm because You are with us. only we have to acknowledge Your presence here. Lord, I am strong because You made me to be. Because of the grace You have been giving me. Lord, I cannot carry this so please Lord accept them as I bring them all at Your feet. Lord, I know You have Your plans Lord. Plans to prosper and not to harm us, to give us a hope and a future.

Lord, I will find rest for my soul in You. Lord, this is easy because You are there. You are the One who is giving me hope. I will cast all my burdens upon You. I will give You everything, my concerns, my worries. I will Lord. I will Lord.

I am resting at Your hands. I am drawing my strength from You. Thank You so much for this lovely and wonderful reminder.

Let me not be so afraid to open my heart and love another person, specially a man just because it did not work out between my parents. I have a different life, one that is led and guided by You. It may not be so perfect and rose-colored but with assurance that You have everything under control. The enemy has no hold in me, in us, in Jesus' name, amen.
