Thanksgiving - 6 Days To A Grateful HeartSample

Release

These burdens that I carry are way too heavy for me, Lord. In despair, I call to you—I can’t see the path before me because it is hidden from view. As I stand at the border of your habitation, you remind me that I wasn’t created to handle the torment of worry. You created me to live in faith, fully trusting you in every situation, experiencing joy and freedom.

Whether it is out of sheer obedience, or great despair, I’m not sure, but I lay these anxieties, doubts, and fears down. I choose to release the reins of my life to you. Take control and steer me in the right direction.

With thanksgiving on my lips, I move closer to you. I choose to remember your faithfulness throughout my life. Praise begins to overflow from deep within, washing me from the residue of anxiety and ushering me before your throne. When my gaze is upon you, I forget what I was worried about. This is the place of joy!
