September 13 Devotion - Transfer your burdens to God

Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.
الق على الرب اعمالك فتثبت افكارك.

Proverbs 16:3

 

[Commit], as a man transfers a burden from his own back to one stronger and better able to bear it.

 [your thoughts] i.e., The plans or counsels out of which the works spring.

The noblest thoughts we can produce are thoughts about God. We can never fully exhaust our ability to think about the goodness and greatness of God. There is no end of our praise of Him.

 

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and love. Lord, I praise You and glorify You.

My heavenly  Father, I want to transfer my burdens from my own back to You because You are stronger and wiser and by doing this my activities will be based on Your counsel and Your plans. I know that when I commit and trust my works wholly to You; You will cause my thoughts to become agreeable to Your will. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus loves you
In Him,
