Burdens

Praise be to the Lord, to God my Savior, who daily bears my burdens.
Psalm 77:14


Burdens are the nagging thoughts I can't get rid of, that leave me biting my nails and "on the edge". Burdens come daily, even hourly. I'm carrying baggage unnecessarily. Why is it not the first thing I do when I feel anxious or weighed down in my thoughts? Why don't I remember the old 80's worship song I love? I will cast all my cares upon you. Lay all of my burdens down at Your feet. And anytime I don't know what to do, I will cast all my cares upon You.

What burdens can He take for you? Lift them up to the One who loved you enough to take every sin, with the guilt and shame and all, with Him to the cross. We are weak but He is strong.
