The Birth of Christ
by Carl Henrich Bloch
Lord, I am worried about some people in my family with health issues. I am worried if they are taking care of themselves the right way. I am wondering if they will be healed. I am wondering what I can do for them.
Lord, I am worried about my son. Lately he is so whiny and doesn't obey like he should. Is he going to grow up to be a sullen young man?
Lord, my oldest daughter will be going to college in a year!! I am worried if I have raised her in the right way. I am worried about letting her be on her own. Lord, I wonder what else I can do?
Lord, there are so many things to do in a day. I feel like I never get anything done. So much is left unfinished. I know You said Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light. Help me see that in my life.
Lord, I thank you for the finished work on the cross. All my sins are forgiven and paid for. All my anxieties and worries are already solved. Tetelestai. "It is finished."

I too can easily identify with your concerns and the weight of the burden of things not done Andrea. I am trying to deliberately just slow down and consciously roll those burdens over to Him. The hard part is not taking them up again.
Like you, I am so absolutely grateful for His finished work.
tetelestai is one of the most comforting truths to me...thank you for the reminder this morning!!
I feel we could all easily be overwhelmed by our worries and discouragements if not for the cross. It is the place where beginnings and endings are unified. The end of our burdens, the beginning of trust; the end of self-centeredness, the beginning of worship. It's such a place of exhalation- I'm glad you're able to feel that amidst your concerns, Andrea. I'm with you in the struggle to let go. :)
A beautiful medication and application!
