Psalm 30:12-13
You changed my mourning into dancing; you took off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness. With my whole being I sing endless praise to you. O Lord, my God, forever will I give you thanks.

We are all struggling with something…because life does not always go the way we plan. So…why not let go of the struggle? I recently heard a great Christian teacher say that we don’t let go of it…because we don’t want to! The pain and struggle begin to define us…and without it…we don’t know who we are. Why not truly look at the pain or struggle…and tell it that it is no longer going to hold any power over you? Why not simply hand it to God? Jesus told us to hand over our burdens to Him. The same Christian teacher said that he knew a man who was dying of AIDS. The man said that his final few months were his happiest…because even amidst the suffering…he had finally let go of all the things that don’t matter…that had become “attachments” that he had allowed to dictate to him his “happiness.” You are a child of God and are loved eternally just the way you are. Nothing can change that. “With my whole being I sing endless praise to you. O Lord, my God, forever will I give you thanks.”
