%% 5
|
|
> Cast Your Burden On The LORD
|
|
>> Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.
|
|
|
|
Occasion: When I can't let something go
|
|
|
|
Lord, here it is again.
|
|
The memory.
|
|
The conversation.
|
|
The mistake.
|
|
The thing I wish had happened differently.
|
|
|
|
I have carried it through breakfast,
|
|
through work,
|
|
through quiet hours.
|
|
I put it aside,
|
|
then discover it in my hands again.
|
|
|
|
Part of me seems to believe
|
|
that if I think about it long enough
|
|
I can change what has already happened.
|
|
|
|
I cannot.
|
|
|
|
Show me whether there is something here
|
|
I still need to do.
|
|
|
|
If I need to apologize,
|
|
give me courage.
|
|
If I need to make something right,
|
|
show me how.
|
|
If I need to learn something,
|
|
keep me teachable.
|
|
|
|
But if there is nothing left to do,
|
|
teach me to stop rehearsing it in my head.
|
|
|
|
Here is the burden, Lord.
|
|
|
|
I am putting it down again.
|
|
|
|
And if I pick it up tomorrow,
|
|
I will bring it back again.
|
|
|
|
Amen.
