Takes Away Daily

[S]Psalm 68:19  -- 
    19Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden,
         The God who is our salvation. Selah.

[O] One of the struggles I am trying to conquer is the inconsistency of commitments I make; that is to say, I can get a good start on it but making it a daily routine is still a struggle for me.  But this is not so with God -- His commitments stand true day in and day out as described by this verse.  God will daily bear my burden.  This is totally an awesome news for me because lately I've been over burdened and even though it wasn't too overbearing I wasn't sure what was causing this and how I would climb out of it.  I don't know why but I didn't really go to God with this burden specifically other than to generally ask him to lighten the burden however He just told me through this verse that He bears all of my burdens daily -- no holidays -- so I can lean on Him 100%.

[A] How small or big I should bring my burdens to Him every day.  Not doing this is a sign of my pride.

[P] Dear God, I come humbly before You today, humbled by Your amazing love for me to carry my burdens every day without failure (unlike me).  Forgive my arrogance to handle what appears to be a minor (or manageable) burdens in my life.  I surrender to You in Jesus' name.  Amen.
