A daily bearing

By Patty Perkins

Psalm 68:19 “Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.” (NIV)*

When life weighs heavy

Words fly wrong

Hearts sit wounded

He carries strong.

………………..

When doubts swell high

Irritations dig deep

Decisions loom big

He’s there for keeps.

………………..

When life’s too much

Loaded with care

A Savior waits

Daily burdens to bear.

This is one of my favourite verses, and I love the poem you have written. May I copy it and stick on my desktop to remind me of my burden-bearer?

I love your poem, may I copy it to a document – just so I could read it again.

I like to write poetry, but I have to be in the right mood. Don’t feel comfortable to share yet.

Thanks,
