Good morning Mikel. This is something many of us do. We carry burdens which are not ours. I see it all the time. We "borrow" problems and worries that rightfully belong elsewhere and before we know it, we are so burdened that our hearts and spirit are heavy. Learn to let go or even better, not to pick up those things which are not yours to carry. You can help, you can support without picking it up and making it a part of your own load.

Good advice. I am struggling with that one today as I must make a $7,000 tuition payment to the school of hard knocks. But, what the hell, it’s only money and I will let karma supply the revenge. I am too old to waste my life getting revenge the old fashioned way

"May you find a way to left the burdens that weigh you down and those burdens that weigh down others you may know - find a way to lift them up; may you always be positive in that mission to lift others up from their burdens; may you have resilience during that mission and during these uncertain times in the American history; may you always take the very best care of yourself and keep you family safe, secure, and healthy. Cut the ropes of those burden (whatever they may be) and lift what weighs you down and those you support." - COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

LTC Stephen F.
Very well and succinctly stated my friend Jack
I expect that you have been able to lift your burdens to the LORD successfully. I hope you do not try to cling to anything you have lifted up :-)
I also expect that you have helped many by lifting burdens with them as well as listening to them pour out what is on their heart to you as a trusted friend. No doubt you recognize that the burden the LORD designs for each of us is tailored to us and adds no weight. 'Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.’ [Matthew 11:28-30 ESV] Jack.
I pray you that I are becoming great listeners as we spiritually mature. LORD I pray YOU use each one of us to help others shed their burdens in confidence. Enable each of us to be trustworthy in character, and to be wise in giving counsel, my brother-in-Christ CW5 Jack Cardwell.
I lift each one of YOUR adopted children who are burdened with health issues, financial issues, and fractured relationship issues to YOU, LORD. YOU know how much each can bear. I thank YOU for sanctifying each of us and YOUR perfect timing to deliver us from burdens we cannot shed on our own. I pray for wisdom and discernment for each one struggling. Prompt them to make wise decisions and to shed what needs to be shed for their good.
I pray LORD that YOU motivate and guide each of the elected leaders, legislators, appointed officials, and judges who are your adopted sons and daughters throughout the USA, [as well as Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America]. I pray they have wisdom and discernment in evaluating burdens. I pray that taxes will not be exorbitant and that executive and legislative decisions will encourage people to go back to work.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and your loved ones sleep well Monday night and will awake healthy on Tuesday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
