LET GOD HAVE YOUR BURDEN

  

LET GOD HAVE YOUR BURDEN

 

Around the Year with Emmet Fox

 

January 3

 

Once you have contacted the Power within,

and have allowed it to take over

your responsibilities for you

it will direct and govern all your affairs

from the greatest to the least without mistakes.

“The government shall be upon his shoulder.”

You are tired, and driven, and worried,

and weak and ill, and depressed,

because you have been trying to carry

the government upon your own shoulder,

the burden is too much for you,

and you have broken down under it.

Now, immediately you hand over

your self-government, that is,

the burden of making a living,

or of healing your body, or erasing your mistakes,

to the Child He, the Tireless One, the All Powerful,

the All Wise, the All Resourceful,

assumes it with joy

and your difficulties have seen the beginning of the end

“Cast thy burden upon the Lord

and he shall sustain thee.”

Psalm 55:22
