Almighty God I have great concerns on my heart today, yet I know You are a great Lord who can help me with those concerns. My work, unfinished projects, and unresolved perplexities weigh heavily on me. Uncertainty about the future and my inability to solve everything reminds me of my human limitations. And worries about loved ones and friends occupy my thoughts.
Help me to cast my burdens upon You, and stop trying to manage my burdens in my own strength. In this quiet moment of prayer I deliberately commit each one of my burdens, large or small, into Your gracious care. Help me not to snatch them back. And give me an extra measure of Your wisdom, insight, and discernment as I tackle the challenges of this day. Make this a productive day in which I live with confidence that You will guide my thinking, unravel my difficulties, and empower my decisions. I am ready for this day, Lord, and I intend to live it with freedom and joy to the glory of Your Holy Name. Amen.
Pst Sarah K. Zango
Amen!
