I own a little prayer book published in 1949 by Charles Scribner's Sons, written by Joseph Baillie. The inscription on the inside says this: "Greetings on your graduation. Elmon E Ward, Pastor". I treasure this little book and wonder about Pastor Ward's story as well as the recipient's.
Here is a very small portion of the prayer from this morning, which I pass along in the hope that it might give you hope in your burden-bearing.
Give me a stout heart to bear my own burdens.
Give me a willing heart to bear the burdens of others.
Give me a believing heart to cast all burdens upon Thee.
Glory be to Thee, O Father, and to Thee, O Christ, and to Thee, O Holy Spirit, for ever and ever. Amen.
And again I say, Amen.
