At the backdoor entrance to our house sits a shoe caddy. This allows the children to take their shoes off upon entering the house, and then stow them away neatly.
This morning, I was surprised to see a pile of shoes lying on the floor. What really caught my attention was the tiny pink pair of doll shoes that had been stowed away neatly in the caddy. After seeing this, a thought came to me:
God has invited each and every one of us, to place our daily burdens upon Him. He has gone as far as to provide a special way for us to do this - through prayer. How often do we give Him only a mere fraction of what is troubling our hearts? We proceed to place the remainder in a large pile, set aside for us to deal with later.

Why not give it all to Him? The creator of the universe is certainly big enough to take care of anything we lay at His feet in prayer.
Exodus9:29
Moses replied, "When I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands in prayer to the LORD. The thunder will stop and there will be no more hail, so you may know that the earth is the Lord’s.
