No burdens

Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden. Even the God who is our salvation. Psalms 68:19

Verse Reflections:  How comforting to know that God bears our burden every day.  Such anxiety relief in giving our burdens over to Him.  He is our salvation.  He saves us from ourselves as well as the challenges of the world.  Rather than eating to overcome our anxiety, we can know a peace because God bears our burdens.  I love this verse that then “blesses” the Lord in thanks.  It allows us to once again take the attention off ourselves and put it on God.  We can bless the Lord with our actions, with our eating, with our choices.  He is willing to bear our burden so the least we can do is to honor Him, to bless Him with our choices.

Prayer:  God, I come to You today in complete amazement that You are willing to bear our burdens.  I have a burden on me today and it humbles me to know You have it.  Thank You for taking the challenges of this world on Yourself.  In return, I do want to bless You, to honor You by choosing the right foods.  Can You be close so I know the answers are in Your hands?  I made it through yesterday.  I give You today.  I love You Lord.  I give You today.  I need You close and we are going to have fun.  Thank You for being my salvation.
