Do you know what is the most strenous part of a tug-of-war competition? Yes, it is when both teams are straining with all their might (and some would also add the weight) on both ends of their thick rope and each trying to outwit and outlast the other team.
In real life, when I look back at what I had gone through, the toughest times were when I struggled alone with my challenges and never once laid my burdens at the feet of Jesus. Remember, our Daddy God is a Gentleman and He will never want to impose on us to take our burdens upon Himself; He will only do that when we invite Him in and boy, will He come rushing to our aid. He does not like to touch the tug-of-war rope when we have a firm grip on it - He just backs off. He respects our choices in life - with or without Him.
But when we so decide to leg go of the rope and allow Him to do the pulling on our behalf, He will step in and ensure we are on the winning side. With God on our side, even though we may stand alone, we are the majority and we win! Hallelujah!
My prayer for you - "Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. 3John2 (NIV)"

A New Believer's Prayer
Thank you Father for loving us so much that You sent Your precious Son Jesus Christ to this world to die for all our sins. I receive Jesus into my heart as my Lord and Savior.Thank you that all my sins have been nailed to the Cross on Jesus at His death and because He died in our place, I am now saved forever. I have been made righteous in Your sight because of what Jesus did and I can now enjoy Your blessings over my life. Thank you for the privilege of being called Your Child and for the Gift of Your Holy Spirit in my life. AMEN
