CAST YOUR BURDENS UPON THE LORD In Psalm 55:22 and 1 Peter - TopicsExpress

CAST YOUR BURDENS UPON THE LORD In Psalm 55:22 and 1 Peter 5:7, the Bible encourages us to, ‘cast our burden upon the Lord’. Care is a burden; it makes the heart sick. Worry can rob us of happiness. We often labour under the burden of senseless anxiety and care about tomorrow. That is why the Bible tells us to cast the burden upon the Lord for He alone is able to give us rest. The best remedy against anxiety is to cast our burden upon God, believing His divine will to calm our spirit. To cast our burden upon God is to rest our trust in His providence and promise. His promise does not say He would keep us free from cares and anxiety but that He would give us enough grace to stand and resist those troubles that cause our anxieties, cares and unnecessary fears. If we commit our ways and works to Him, He promised to carry us in the arms of His power, as a nurse carries a child and will strengthen our spirit by His Spirit. He who bore the burden of our sorrows, worries, cares, anxieties and fears, desires us to leave it entirely for Him because He alone knows what it takes to give us rest. Why don’t we trust and let Him prove Himself? After all, He is the Governor of our future - I mean, He owns our future. In other words, after you must have done everything humanly possible, you must leave the issue with God to mark your work.
