My husband is such a hard worker. He tries so diligently at everything he does—in his personal life and his work life. He tries to be the best husband, father, grandfather, firefighter, provider, protector that he can be. Sometimes, it seems to me that he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders.
Perhaps you also have a dad or a husband or a loved one who works so hard for you and your family. This blog is for them—it is to encourage them in their journey through this life.
Below is some scripture that we can all take heart in:
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.
For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
God understands that we grow weary, and are heavy-laden–and He is telling us to come to Him, to bring our burdens to Him–and He will give us rest. He also tells us to not lose heart in doing good–we will reap what we have been sowing, if we don’t give up! Then He tells us to look at Jesus–who endured—so that we will not grow weary and lose heart.
In addition to these great scriptures–I am including the song, “Weary Traveler. It is for all the Dads out there—who are trying to do their best—It is called Weary Traveler. One of the lines in the song is: You were never meant to walk this road alone.
God wants to walk this road with you. You were never meant to walk this road alone.

Lyrics:
Weary traveler
Beat down from the storms that you have weathered
Feels like this road just might go on forever
Carry on
You keep on giving
But every day this world just keeps on taking
Your tired heart is on the edge of breaking
Carry on
Weary traveler, restless soul
You were never meant to walk this road alone
It’ll all be worth it so just hold on
Weary traveler
You won’t be weary long
No more searching
Heaven’s healing’s gonna find where all the hurt is
When Jesus calls we’ll lay down all our heavy burdens
Carry on
Someday soon we’re gonna make it home
Weary traveler, restless soul
You were never meant to walk this road alone
It’ll all be worth it so just hold on
Weary traveler
You won’t be weary long
Encouragement for you!!
