I am your burden bearer.
Come to me and rest, my beloved one. I know your responsibilities are many, and I know the burdens you carry are great. Call me your shepherd, and I will carry you. Call me your friend, and I will listen to your heart’s cry. Call me your Redeemer, and I will bring restoration to your soul. Busying yourself with many things will bring distraction and discouragement. The expectations of others will drown out my song of grace over your life. Call me your strength, and my invisible power will be seen in your life. I did not create you to be limited by feelings of weakness. I know the burdens you carry, burdens of past failures and the fear of inadequacy as you ponder your future. I am here with you this very moment to be more than a companion—I will be the Lord of love and the God of every tender mercy. I long to show you that my grace is more than enough. Rise from the place of despair and betrayal and come to me. Call me your burden bearer and leave all of your burdens at my feet. You will rise up with strength and be surrounded with peace.
Whispers written by Brian Simmons and Gretchen Rodriguez
Psalm 23:2–3 The Passion Translation
He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace, the quiet brook of bliss. That’s where he restores and revives my life. He opens before me pathways to God’s pleasure and leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness so that I can bring honor to his name.
