He'll Lift Your Heavy Load


Today I woke up with the worst mood in the world. I could hear my siblings fighting, I didn't want to go to work, all I wanted to do was run far, far away. Then Brett came over before work and for a moment made everything seem perfect. Even with all the contention, even with the stress that filled the air.
I can't explain what Brett does when he hugs me, it's like the who world stops and everything is good. After dropping Brett off at work, there was nothing I wanted more than to go the temple and just sit. I needed the peace and comfort the temple instantly brings.
It was like I was meant to go there because my boss wasn't ready for me to come in for the day. So I drove straight to the temple, and as soon as I drove in the parking lot. I felt the Spirit change my attitude. How badly I wanted to go inside that beautiful castle, I can't explain. As I pleaded with the Lord and opened my whole heart to Him I felt instant comfort. I felt loved and taken care of, I knew at that moment that things will turn around, things will get better, because they always do when I have the Lord in my life.
As I sat praying to the Lord, He gave me answers to my prayers immediately and He helped me find people who could help me at this point. By the time I was ready to leave I felt better. It was as if a load was lifted off my shoulders. For the first time in weeks, I felt peace. I felt truly happy.
I went on through the day and had the courage and strength to face my challenges. As I contemplate on the day, and what a day it's been... I recognize the Lord's hand in my life today.
He'll lift your heavy load.... and carry you.
