A prayer to pray now
Father, You laid help on a strong shoulder. Christ is that mighty One. He is strong enough to carry what I cannot. I do not need to find any more help. You have already provided it. This morning, I lay my load on Him again. The little anxieties that gathered overnight. The medical issues that need real care without my fear making them bigger. The relationships I cannot fix. The country I cannot save. I place them all on the shoulder that was made for carrying. He does not stagger. He is mighty. Let me receive the help You have for me. Let me live today like the load is where it belongs, which is on Him. Amen.
