A Prayer When Finding Truth Isn’t as Easy as it Seems

Lord, You are the great God,mighty and true. All of Your ways are perfect. All of Your ways are righteous and just. You  are the God of Truth.

You tell us to come to You when we are weary and heavy-laden. That’s how I feel Lord — heavy-laden, carrying burdens that are not mine to carry.
