Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God.

Ephesians 3:19 (The Message)

 

~~~

 

I am privileged to be a dwelling place

for Your Spirit

Your glorious presence.

 

Thank You for the day

I let go of the whole burden of my sins

and rested on the atoning work of Christ

on the total payment He made for me on the cross.

 

Thank You that

today

I can let go of

the burdens of my life

let go of

my inadequacies

and rest on Your present working

in me through the Holy Spirit.

 

How good it is to transfer these burdens

from my shoulders

to Yours.

 

Thank You for the gracious way You infuse me

with inner strength through Christ

that I can give myself up

to be led by You

that I can go forward

in an attitude of praise

and rest

letting You manage me.

 

I am grateful that I can joyfully depend on You

today

expecting You to guide

enlighten

reprove

teach

and use.

 

Thank You that I can throw the entire weight of my anxieties

on You

because You know me

and tell me that I am a personal concern of Yours.
