Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. For years, Martha lived with much guilt and regret over the spinal cord injury of her son. Because Martha was driving when she fell asleep at the wheel, and the car flipped, and that’s when her son broke his back. Well, one summer, Martha attended a Joni and Friends Family Retreat. And there, she listened as one woman confessed guilt over having opted for a surgical procedure for their child that was botched. Another expressed regret for trying a new medication that only worsened her child’s condition. As Martha took it all in, she realized she didn’t need to carry the burden of guilt and regret anymore. Psalm 68 says, “Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.” Like Martha, surrender those burdens to Christ, would you? Because he is willing to carry them daily.
