I Ask Not for a Lighter Burden But for Broader Shoulders

So often we ask for things to get easier, for our struggles to become less. This is out of our control. It has nothing to do with us. We are asking some outside source to make something bearable for us. This is the wrong thing to ask. The ask should be for us to be able to bear more. More struggle, more hardship, more anxiety. All of these things we can control. We can dig deep within ourselves, take a deep breathe and say "I am ok and I got this!"
