Day 29

Thank You that Christ is my Life…that I am a member of His body and a dwelling place of His Spirit. How
privileged I am to be indwelt by Your glorious presence (by the whole Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!) so that
you can display Your excellence to those around me.

Thank You for the day when I let go of the whole burden of my sins and rested on the atoning work of Christ—on
the total payment He made for me on the cross…And thank You that today, in that same simple way, I can let go of
the whole burden of my life and service…of my marriage, children, and all my relationships (past, present, and
future), of my inadequacies and self-dependence, and rest on Your present working in me through the Holy Spirit.
How good it is to transfer these burdens from my shoulders to Yours, and to rest on You to work in me and for me
and through me! I praise You for the gracious way You infuse me with inner strength through Christ…and so I’m
ready for anything You want me to do, and I’m equal to anything You allow to happen in my life.

Thank You that I can give myself up to be led by You…that I can go forth praising and at rest, letting You manage
me and my day…that I can joyfully depend on You throughout the day, expecting You to guide, to enlighten, to
reprove, to teach, to use, and to do in me and with me what You desire…that I can count upon Your working in me
and through me as a fact, totally apart from sight or feeling…that I can go forth praising and at rest, believing You
and obeying You and ceasing from the burden of trying to manage myself without Your wisdom and power
(adapted from Dr. John Hubbard).

Thank You that I can throw the whole weight of my anxieties on You, for I am Your personal concern.
