Last night, laying in bed, exhausted from the week, I could not sleep. Mind racing with worry about the future, heart breaking from remembering the past, I called out to God - "Lord, take this weight from me... it is getting too heavy," to which He promptly replied, "I am trying." The reason it is so heavy is because you won't let go. "My daughter," He said to me, "the reason it is so heavy is because you won't let go. You are still carrying everything you said you give to me - your fears, your sadness, your anxieties. If you would just let them go, I can make your burden light. Let them go, my daughter, and let me carry that weight. Let go and trust." How often do I lay my life at the foot of the cross at night, only to pick it back up in the morning.
