"My sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.

They are more than the hairs of my head, and

my heart fails within me." Psalm 40:12

"For my sins have flooded over my head; they are

a burden too heavy for me to bear." Psalm 38:4.

Of all burdens--sin is the heaviest burden in all

the world!

Poor souls; sin is a burden that so troubles them and

puzzles them, that so presses and oppresses them, as

that it wrings many bitter tears from their eyes, and

many sad and grievous sighs and groans from their

hearts. "Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will

free me from this life that is dominated by sin?"

Romans 7:24
