Shalom God,
I have baggage. I'm shlepping around feelings, emotions, pains, struggles and anger that I don't need or want. Here I am - in a new home, ready to begin a new year - with a healthy family, a wonderful community, fantastic opportunities for learning and growing and I'm still burdened with my baggage.
Please God, give me the strength to shed my fear. Give me the vision to look with new eyes. Give me the patience to unpack my stuff so my burden lightens. Help me see each person as a blessing and a teacher. Remind me that You are the only judge and that I should step off the bench.
I'm tired of being weighted down God - if You could carry some of my baggage - I would appreciate it.
Thanks for listening,
David
