“I know that for all of us at times we fail to remember that the Lord promised to carry our burdens and to carry all that heavy weight that this ole world and life tries to place upon our shoulders..and for some of us we think that we have given it over to the Lord and we feel as if we’re not carrying that weight of it all..but I think as well, for the most part a whole lot of us just kinda of pick it right back up and take it right back with us as we rise from our knees in prayer..and you may say well, Mandi that’s not me..but I would have to come back and say..do you still worry about it?..do you still talk about it?..is it still pressing on you?..in your heart and in your mind?..and if you’ve answered yes to any of them questions then as well I would say that you haven’t left it there with Jesus..cause I know that it’s hard to let go..and I know that it’s hard to trust sometimes..and even to trust the Lord..for we want to be in control..and we feel as if we need to be in control over it all..but you see guys..that ole evil one wants us to fret and worry..he wants us to get to that place as to where were weighed down by the cares of this life in which we live..but you know we don’t have to be nor should we ever be..because God never intended for us to be..for you see He died that we could have life and have it more abundantly..John 10:10..and as well when we know the Lord we will trust in Him..for scripture says for us to trust in the Lord with all of our hearts and for us to not lean upon our own understanding..but that in all of our ways we are to acknowledge the Lord knowing that He alone will direct our pathways..Proverbs 3:5-6..Amen..for as well he tells us to cast our every care on Him for He cares for us..1 Peter 5:7..Amen..for worrying is a sin..and worrying literally will kill us..for it captures our minds..and takes up root in us that continues to grow the more that we do worry and the more that we allow it to take over us..for when we know the Lord we will know Him..and we will serve Him..follow Him and trust Him..regardless of the situation at hand..because we know that God is good and that He is good all the time..Amen..for the Lord knows what He is doing in our lives..even if we don’t understand we still trust..because we are walking by faith and not at all by sight..2 Corinthians 5:7..we are calling them things that be not as though they were..Romans 4:17..for I love the song that says..”Oh, what peace we often forfeit..Oh, what needless pain we bare..all because we do not carry..everything to God in prayer!”..Amen..as well I love the song that sings this..”I surrender all..I surrender all..all to thee..my blessed Savior..I surrender all..and I would ask of us all have we surrendered it all unto the Lord?..have we cast our every care upon Him?..for without the Lord we won’t make it guys..Oh, but with Him..there is literally and honestly nothing we cannot do..so let us, let it all go and let it all stay there at the Master’s feet..our Fathers feet..trusting Him to take care of it all, for you and for me..knowing that He is working it all together for our good..Romans 8:28..for that’s just the kind of God it is that we serve..so we trust that..never doubting..but simply trusting and forever beliving..In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
