Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do. ⁸ Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. ⁹ This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

All to often it seems some people when put under pressure by things of this world break....it might mean having a fit or rage or anger towards someone or something....might mean a person takes the life of another in a fit of rage...Jesus would never leave us...nor would he ever want us to carry a burden of sin, or anger around with us.  The devil might try to break us...but is we remember

Matthew 11:28-30

New Living Translation (NLT)

²⁸ Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰ For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
 

He will take it all away from us, so that we might be strong and courageous to fight off all the tricks the evil one might throw at us!

I pray that I am never too proud, or stubborn to pray that you would take my earthly burden from me!  I am so glad you come running to your children when we call!
