Psalm 32:1-7 (NIV)
Of David. A maskil.

1 Blessed is he
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
2 Blessed is the man
whose sin the LORD does not count against him
and in whose spirit is no deceit.
3 When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
4 For day and night
your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.

Selah

5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, "I will confess
my transgressions to the LORD"—
and you forgave
the guilt of my sin.

Selah

6 Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you
while you may be found;
surely when the mighty waters rise,
they will not reach him.
7 You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.

Selah

Thank you Lord for showing me this message today. I am guilty of having way too much things that I always burden myself with. I don't have to carry them, and I know that once I hand them over to You, I can be free.

Lord, I'm weak while you are strong. Aid me, Holy Spirit, guide me towards the path to give up the things that I hold on so tightly in my life. You are the Master Potter Lord, mold me to do Your will.

Only when I give up everything that I hold dear to You, entrusting You with them, will I be able to have an even closer communion with You. I entrust You, Father, with my burdens and worries. All is in Your hands.
