Morning Manna


"Pile your troubles on God's shoulders— He'll carry your load, He'll help you out." -- Psalm 55:22 MSG

Abba, our burdens can feel like boulders! They are weights that we were never meant to carry. Your shoulders are broad and strong.

You offer to carry the load, but I often resist. Most of the time, if I'm honest, I feel that if anything is going to happen, I'M going to have to make it happen on my own. The pressure is on me. This tendency comes from my wounds...it's an age-old pattern in my life.

Teach me, Jesus, that You came to set the captive free. From captive to Captivating is Your Desire for me. I am not a slave to sin, fear, or even death itself. I am an adopted daughter of the Most High God invited to live in union and partnership with her Loving Savior. 

Increase my faith to trust in You and find joy in this season...for this is my hope and strength.
