      Worry Has Me All Tied Up in Knots

      A LETTER TO Heaven   

      Dear Father,

      I come to You needing Your calming peace. Lately, my heart has been all tied up in knots, and my head has been full of worry. I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve felt truly at peace. It’s as if there’s a huge boulder in my life, and it’s my job to carry it. I’ve got it up on my shoulders, but I’m crushed by its weight and I’m going nowhere.

      The peace I once knew has totally left me, and it’s been replaced by nagging worries and self-doubt. I’ve thought and thought about what I can do to fix this mess, but it seems to be out of my control. It’s too big for me. I’ve prayed about it—oh, how I’ve prayed! But that big boulder is still up there.

      This burden is with me in everything I do. I carry it with me everywhere I go. I can’t get free of it. I long for Your peace. I ache for Your comfort. Fill me with Your peace, O Lord. Hold me in Your arms. Take this burden from me.

      Your Fretful Child

      A LETTER FROM Heaven   

      Dear Fretful Child,

      The burden you are trying to carry is not yours—it belongs to Me. Have I not told you to cast all your anxieties on Me? If you will throw your cares on Me, I will sustain you. I never let My righteous ones fall. If you will but let Me, I will remove the burden from your shoulders and set your hands free.

      Though you
