Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there! That hymn contained the message that Grandpa Moses conveyed to his granddaughter Marash Girl all those many years ago. . . It wasn't enough to pray. It was a must to pray, but after praying, to leave it to the Lord, to leave the burden in the Lord's hands. NOT continue to carry it around.
A cartoon that Marash Girl saw years later reminded her of her grandfather and this hymn -- a cartoon that she remembers to this day . . . a cartoon that showed a fellow asking for help with his burden, but refusing to give that heavy pack over to the person who had offered to help; the burdened man continued with his burden on his back, although his friend was at his side, packless, burdenless, ready and willing to help.
