I fall to my knees as weary trembling legs give out, they can carry me no farther. The ground beneath me grows damp from silent traitorous tears, my shoulders bow as the weight of what I carry fully settles on me. "Father" I whisper, "I can't fight anymore. I thought I could beat this, but the enemy is just so strong". Hands fall limp to my side as my head bows in defeat.

I feel the ground fall away as strong arms lift me up, "Let Me carry this burden now My daughter". My head rests against His chest, His heart beats strong and true in my ear. "You have fought bravely but now it is time for Me to take over for a while", "I will carry you until you are steady again". My eyes drift closed as my body sways in rhythm to His stride, "Thank you......Jesus".
