"Lay your burdens at the feet of the Lord".
Am I doing that just by writing here?
When I'm writing, should I be praying at the same time so "it counts"?
Certainly I do pray anyway, but I guess it would be nice to think that it counts double when I write about it too.
Edit:Additional comment
After I wrote this, I changed my mind a little about my second statement above about laying my burdens just by writing stuff here. God knows my heart, and knows what troubles me. Just that isn't enough. I need to make an effort to _trust_ and actually try to "give up the worry" about certain things, and only then will I actually lay my burdens down. I guess I re-evaluated what "burdens" might be...I'm not called to lay down my duties or responsibilities, but I _am_ called to let go of the pain/worry/angst that they cause me. Just like true forgiveness, it does take some work or effort to do this.
