Zephaniah 3:18-20“The accumulated sorrows of your exile will dissipate. I, your God, will get rid of them for you. You’ve carried those burdens long enough.At the same time, I’ll get rid of all those who’ve made your life miserable. I’ll heal the maimed; I’ll bring home the homeless. In the very countries where they were hated they will be venerated. On Judgment DayI’ll bring you back home—a great family gathering! You’ll be famous and honored all over the world. You’ll see it with your own eyes— all those painful partings turned into reunions!”God’s Promise.How heavy the sorrows of a long life. How the burdens weigh me down. So many changes have come. So many more need to happen. Even good changes can be unsettling.Lord, help me today. Release me from the sorrows and burdens that weigh me down. Heal me. Heal the things in me that don’t work right. Find homes for the homeless.Forgive me of my sins and help me to see you working in my life. Fill me with your peace, your gentleness and your kindness today. Lead me down a path of your choosing. Help me to accomplish your will today.
