You Do Not Have to Struggle Alone

"You no longer have to carry the load alone;

You no longer have to struggle with a greater burden that you can bear;

You have a loving all knowing compassionate God who loves you--

Accept His help."  ~Melody~

Imagine walking through a crowded airport.  You're late for your flight, and the wheels just broke on your over-packed suitcase.  With no other option, you're forced to carry the luggage and slowly maneuver through the congested lobby toward the ticketing area.  You cannot move without bumping into someone. Almost immediately, someone offers to carry your bags, but your pride won't allow you to accept help. When you realize the ticket counter is two levels up, you make your way to the stairs.  You realize it would be easier to take the elevator, but you are determined to carry your bags on your own.  

As you finally make it to the top of the steps, your arms feel numb from the pressure of your bags.  Your legs  are starting to buckle from the weight.  your back is aching from supporting the heavy load.  Then, you spot a collection of unused baggage carts.  But you ignore them, hurried and self-assured that you can handle the bags yourself.  Sounds rather silly and foolish for you to continue struggling doesn't it? 

Why would you prefer to carry such a heavy burden, ignoring every opportunity to lay it down?  God has beckoned you to lay your cares, struggles, worries, and burdens at His feet.  But when you fail to come to God in prayer, you appear just as foolish as if you were staggering with your bags through the airport.

Are you trying to carry a greater burden than you can bear?  Don't ignore God's offer to help--lay your burdens down, let God carry them.  The truth is, you really can't do it yourself, and God never wanted you to try.  

"After the storm passes, open your eyes to see God's message of hope." -Melody-
