O, Father, I long to put my full weight onto you.

Because God is firm and steady, you can put your weight on Him.  

~~Cynthia Heald  

This morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest Christian Women Writers of All Time.

To put your weight on something requires transferring trust from one thing to another. We don’t walk out on a frozen pond unless we know for sure the ice can hold our weight. If we see the lines below our feet begin to spread or hear the unmistakable crackle of ice breaking, we know we are in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Putting our full weight on God demands absolute trust in him. Too often, however, we’re afraid that he just won’t hold us. We fear the crackle of a situation out of our control. We shift our weight back onto ourselves.

God says, “Trust me.” We never need to worry that he can’t handle it, that we are too much trouble, that we would be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Trusting in him is always our best choice, for he is firm and steady.
