Weighed Down

But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation* and drunkenness and cares of life and that day come upon you like a trap. For it will come upon all who dwell upon the earth. But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the son of man.
-Luke 21:34-36

*Dissipation: wasteful expenditure or consumption; indulgence in sensual pleasure

If I stand, let me stand on the promise that You will pull me through, and if I can't, let me fall on the grace that first brought me to You.
-Rich Mullins

Lord, have mercy on me, a great sinner.
