Burden

Sin sits heavy on the soul. Our failures never wander far from our minds. With the memory…comes the guilt. Sin keeps us chained to shame and regret. And as long as we keep silent, we stay…tethered. That’s what David experienced.

I can praise God even when I stand before fruitless trees, failed crops, and empty stalls.

Ask God to give you a new Spirit-empowered desire to follow hard after Jesus.

You are not alone; God is with you. The weight may be heavy, but God will carry it for you.

With your hands lifted to God as an act of humble dependence, ask God to show you the condition of your heart.

Can I delight in God when yet another burden is piled on my heavy heart? Habakkuk teaches me that true joy in “God my Savior” is independent of my current issues.
