Psalm 31:10 My life is worn away with sorrow and my years with sighing, strong as I am, I stumble under my load of misery… During most of my childhood years I lived a couple of miles from my maternal grandfather’s house. He was the light of my life---no matter what happened, he was always there. I was always his favorite grandchild and could get more from him than any of the other grandkids. Needless to say, we were close. I grew up and moved away. One night I decided to take a long drive home after work, taking the road that traveled by his house. As I passed by the house I noticed all the lights were on, and immediately thought they were expecting company. At home, while fixing dinner, my Mom called to tell me he had suffered a heart attack and hadn’t made it. I now knew why all the lights were on, and I immediately went to his house. It hurts terribly and I can’t talk about him without crying. I often “see” him driving down the road. On the anniversary of his death I take to my bed, staying there until the next morning. It’s a day that, as strong as I am, I “stumble under my load of misery.” I lost my best friend, the most important person in my life. I’m sure you understand. Perhaps your load includes a misery that makes you stumble. Remember, God is there to help carry your load. Prayer: Lord, sometimes I lack the strength to carry my load, which seems unbearable. At these times I stumble a lot. Please, I ask you, be there to lift me up at these times and I will glorify your name. Amen. ---written by an Anonymous contributor. |
