Blessed be the Lord, Who bears our burdens and carries us day by day,
even the God Who is our salvation! (Ps. 68:19)
Prayer: Lord, I confess that have been reluctant to admit You into my daily life in relation to small, intimate needs. I had not thought that the Lord of the universe, high and lifted up, should be bothered about my little problems. Yet here You are making it clear to us that the Helper will be as close to us as our own thoughts, supplying even needed information and reminding us in a critical moment of Your words of promise and blessing.
Thank You too for putting Your finger so incisively on a deeper reason for my reluctance to admit You to the minutiae of my life. I have been afraid of the fair exchange You are asking of me; the Helper will supply everything--even those small needs--in exchange for my whole life. Not only does He want to use me, He wants an exuberance of giving on both sides.
Lord, melt away any pockets of resistance left. Don't let me hug any part of my life to myself.
Show me today how to take at least one definite step of trusting the Helper. Thank You, Lord. Amen.
