Burden
There’s a song rendered by Basil Valdez which became very popular some two decades ago. It speaks of burden or heavy load. This song became my prayer then but lately the tune rings in my ears so i’m singing it once again.
It’s always a relief to sing a prayer from one’s heart. We can have burden or heaviness in the course of this life but the good news is that we can release it to the Lord by prayer. The bible defines burden like a load carried by men or animals; it can also be a responsibility; cares of life; bondages or oracles of judgment.
The moment we feel heavy with problems or with a situation that is beyond our control, always remember the invitation of our Lord Jesus Christ: “Come to me all of you who are heavy with burden and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
Right now even as you read this blog, there may be burden in your heart: unresolved conflict with your employer; unclosed relationships which bring pain to your heart; betrayals; frustrations and fear…. Come, the Lord is saying to you…and He will give you rest. “Cast thy burden upon the Lord and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” Ps.55:22
Now let me pray for you. Lord bless this someone. Touch his/her heart. Let them know you care. In Jesus name, Amen.
Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you.
