Yesterday was a day where a lot of burden was shared in different settings. The morning had a couple of counseling sessions which seemed to go well. Afterwards, our family had a funeral service for a nephew who had passed. It was a nice celebration of his life, but there are those struggles. Last night was our Celebrate Recovery leadership meeting where some struggles were shared and lastly, the day ended with a quartet practice. Following the practice, a member wanted to talk about an intense burden they were dealing with.

As I started my devotional time I journaled that I felt emotionally exhausted which I quickly recognized as an effect from yesterday. As I asked Jesus what He wanted me to know for today, He reminded me that these burdens are His, not mine. He would let me know if there’s something He wants me to do with them. Being a good listener was my role yesterday. Understanding to let Christ take care of these burdens was my role for starting today.

It is amazing how God works! Giving burdens to Him is just exactly what He wants done. Rejoicing in His promise to be the One who brings about intervention. praising Him ahead of time for what I cannot see but know He will do in His time, is my joy for today,
