BY SPECIAL REQUEST - PRAYER: Father, Why Are Cast-off Burdens Coming Back and Bothering Me?

Greetings, Dear Ones!

Today's offering is by Special Request of one of our Fellow Travelers who is bothered, as the title suggests, by certain burdens which, though given up, are forever in view and causing problems.

I pray that this response will not only be a blessing to the Requester, but also to others of us who may be similarly "assaulted!"

I also encourage the Brethren to visit the following link:

May your hearts be blessed this day, and always!

Lord, I laid down this burden last week last night, AND,

today, I find that it’s still here! 

I know for sure that I sent it to You

BUT, Father, here it is in plain sight ... again!

Father, some of my burdens, it seems, when dropped, soon die

But others sent away grab my shoe

And, wherever I turn, look around, or sit on a pew

There they are, sticking to me like super glue!

My loves, my hates, my problems with dates -

Calendar and opposite sex -

Are chewing on me

Begging compromise

As if love’s a commodity!

Father, You said in Your Word

To say a prayer - it will be heard -

So, please, deliver me of my load

On this day of decision

For life and hope are on a course for massive collision.

You say that You care and that

All I need to do is give You of my load.

I gave You the load which is now acting the goad

And, Father, now my circuit is on overload!

My Child, I have told you before

That burdens are like sin at the core.

If a whiff in the nose

Or a speck on white clothes

They will always announce

Pronounce and control.

Cliches from all man

"Let GO and let GOD" and

"Trust and Don't Pay!"

Are not as trite as they appear.

Trust Me with the burden -

Don't pay for the solution.

Walk by your Faith in Me

Not by the sight you see
Nor by the worldly wisdom of those 
Who now seek to lead Thee.

Give Me ALL your cares -

ALL of them - not just shares.

Go commando - bare it all!

Liberate your skin from sin -

Go all in!

Child, look at Me!

Not the date - but the Tree.

I AM big enough

And have Love enough

To comfort you in all ways.

Don’t be like Lot’s wife

Who believed things her soul satisfied

And perished for pride 

Of life, and lust of flesh and eye which -

Instead of Me - were glorified.

Mrs. Lot, even though warned

Took no heed and did scorn the

Prohibition which upon her had been laid.

Instead of running away

She dragged her feet, and looked back

And a pillar of salt is how she forever stayed.

Believe, Child of Mine, that

I AM Kind, Love Divine

For, for love of YOU, I suffered and died!

You are on My Heart inscribed

You are The Nail Holes in My Hands and Feet

The Spear Mark in My Side

The Thorn Scars on My Brow

The Apple of My Eye

I love You! Trust ME

And the Over-comer you will forever be!

Let Me set you free

For you can’t help yourself

But I - The Son of Man

You know that I - alone - can!

In moments of seeming despair, 

Choose to REMEMBER that

burdens, like Me, were lifted at Calvary.

So, give Me that load

Let it go - no more to goad

You to despair

For I AM - alone - forever here for You,

My Blessed and Greatly Beloved Child!

COME 

UNTO ME 

 AND I 

- ALONE -

Who:

BLED to give you New Birth

Was CRUCIFIED for your Consecration

Is Faithful to give you Grace

Is Just to forgive you your Sins

Was Sacrificed to Sanctify you for Salvation

Was Glorified to give you a Crown

WILL GIVE YOU

OF MY PEACE

AND 

SHELTER YOU IN MY REST

BECAUSE

I LOVE YOU!

So, if you Trust Me
Give Me 
your bewildering burdens which
bewitch belief, benumb the brain
harden the heart and seek to
strangle the Spirit.
Give Me
that darkening dust of despair, 
dread desire, and damning delusion!

Let GO of the Burden!

Place the Burden, in faith, on Me - I AM able!

Don't take back the Burden!

Walk away from the Burden

and

Do Not Look Back!

I AM ... The Lord Almighty to Save

I CAN ... Bear your Load, and

I DO ... It for Love

of

YOU!
