Please read 2 Chronicles 35.

Meditate on verses 2-3.
He (King Josiah) set the priests in their offices and
encouraged them in the service of the house of the LORD.
He also said to the Levites who taught all Israel
and who were holy to the LORD, "Put the holy ark
in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel
built; it will be a burden on your shoulders no longer.
Now serve the LORD your God and His people Israel.”
These verses are like a sigh of relief. Hear God say them as He encourages you in your service to Him and others:
“Give me the holy task you carry; it will
be a burden on your shoulders
no longer. I AM the LORD your God.
Now serve Me and My people.”
What are you doing for the cause of Christ that weighs you down? Caring for children, tending an ill loved one, teaching Bible study, finishing school, going to work every day….
Blessed be the LORD, who daily bears our burden,
the God who is our salvation.
God is to us a God of deliverances.
—Psalm 68:19-20a
Give your burdens to the LORD as you pray 2 Chronicles 35:2-3 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, __________ and I need to be encouraged
in the service of Your house.
We are Your Levites; we teach
those who are holy to You, LORD.
We give this holy task to You; let it
be a burden on our shoulders no longer.
Help us serve You, LORD God, and Your people.
In Your strength, Jesus~”
