I know....
During the Holiday season the burden you carry is extra heavy...
More to do...
More expenses...
More stress from the care of your peripheral loved ones...
And almost always, more uninvited drama.
The toll these days in December can take on some of you is astronomical.
But there is One who is willing to carry the pain, the loss, the grief, the heaviness of it all. Because you were not meant to do it alone. None of us were meant to do this alone.
Today, take the chains that you are wearing around your neck and lay them at the foot of the cross, as we pray for our loved ones to do the same.
December 13, 2019 Our Prayer for Our Loved One today: Matthew 11:28-30 NIV [28] “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Lord, our hearts are heavy today. Heavy for the lost. Heavy for the hurting. And heavy with our own pain. But Lord, we know there is only one way to release the pain and that is to come to you! Lord, we pray that (our loved one) would come to you today. Lord, (he/she) is weary, (he/she) is burdened. Lord provide a place of rest for (our loved one's) soul. Lord, we pray that (our loved one) would lay (his/her) burdens at your feet today, surrendering them all to you! Lord, we ask that you would lift (his/her) heavy yoke and replace it with the freedom that comes from choosing to live for You! We ask this in your son's precious name! Amen!
