At times I'm weary. I carry little ones and I carry the pain of women in my heart and prayers. What runs through my mind in a day would cause a head to shake in shear bafflement at the complexity of it all. So much analyzing, so much planning, so much burden-bearing. I must leave it all. The only safe place to leave it is in Jesus' hands. I am easily brought to tears at the sound of this song, which describes the intercession of Jesus on my behalf (and yours!). This is where my rest comes from... the very thought that the One who died for me is ever praying for me to the Father. If that isn't enough to calm a frazzled spirit, I don't know what is. Soak it in, Friends. (Taken from Romans 8:34)Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus
Spread His praise from shore to shore
How He came to pay our ransom
Through the saving cross He bore
How He watches o'er His loved ones
Those He died to make His own
How for them He's interceding
Pleading now before the throne
Oh the deep, deep love
All I need and trust
Is the deep, deep love of Jesus

A yoke that is easy and a burden that is light. We are so blessed. Thanks, Heather. You're a real gem.
Those truly are wonderful words to remember... As much as we care, He cares even more. He sees the big picture and YES He intercedes on our behalf.
I too am amazed and calming down. Thanks for the wonderful reminder.
Oh yes, my friend! DO rest in HIM and continually turn it all over into HIS hands! I *love* to think on Hebrews 12:1-3 when I become weary. Might it be a blessing to you heart this day.
With Love,
Camille

Love the lyrics! Many times when the burned of my parents salvation gets heavy, the weight knocks me down to my knees. It is during the most random times that I cry out to God. The cry is sincere and the dwelling place of His presence is priceless. Thank you for reminding me of that today. I really needed it. I have been so discouraged about not seeing my prayers answered about their salvation that your reminder of giving all my burdens to Him came at the right time!
Have a fabulous week!

Praise God! Thank you ;o).
