I realized tonight I have been carrying a 100 pound pack on my back, made up of a number of problems that have gone on over the past year, compounding themselves into a large, cumbersome, useless burden that I have come to accept and maybe even like carrying just a little.  But the problem is this pack is slowly cracking my back and causing me to stoop a bit.

Lord Jesus, I give this burden to You and ask that You would cause me to walk tall and straight, to let go and let God, to walk in Your light.  You promise:  "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."  Make this promise true in my life tonight Lord.
