How heavy do you think this is?
At a relaxed family gathering, someone picked up a balloon and asked the others, "How heavy do you think this balloon is?" As everyone made their guesses, the person holding the balloon smiled and said, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It's how long I hold it. For a minute or two, it's light. An hour, it starts to ache. A day, it becomes crippling.
Just like the balloon, our worries and burdens weigh us down the longer we hold onto them. God urges us to exchange worry for prayer and thanksgiving. Let go of your burdens and find peace in God's love and care. See this bible verse.
Verse of the Day: Phillippians 4:6-7: Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Song of the Day: Everyone knows ‘What a Friend we have in Jesus’
~~God is on your side.
