“Are you ever burdened with a load of care? Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?” Count your many blessings, and give your cares to God.

O God, your compassions never fail and are new every morning. Today, we may be burdened with loads of care, the cross we are carrying seems too much too bear; but we are mindful of your word which asks us to cast all, not some, but all of our cares on you. So today, Lord, we are laying our burdens at your feet, that cross that is too heavy for us to carry is now yours and yours alone, and we are trusting that as our burdens are relieved, our hearts will be lifted up to give you praise and continue to count our blessings. Thank you, Lord!
