Come to Me with all your burdens, worries and concerns and find My promised rest for your soul (Matthew 11:28–29). Your burdens may be too heavy for you to bear, but they are not too heavy for Me. My shoulders are broad enough to carry any load that you bring to Me.
My Word teaches you to cast all your cares and anxieties on Me, knowing that I care for you (1 Peter 5:7). But you may wonder, “Practically speaking, how do I cast my cares on You, Lord?” Start by taking a few minutes to reflect on your situation. What are the burdens that you are carrying? What is causing you to be anxious and stressed?
Then take time to commit these burdens to Me one by one, asking Me to take care of everything that concerns you. Remember My promise that I will sustain you and will not allow you to be shaken or moved (Psalm 55:22). Once you have made your requests known to Me in prayer and thanksgiving, trust that My peace will guard your heart and mind (Philippians 4:6–7).
No matter what the source of your concerns, casting your cares on Me will make your load lighter. So come to Me with all your burdens and trust that in times of stress or trouble, I am always with you. My joy will give you strength and My peace that surpasses your human understanding will sustain you (Nehemiah 8:10).
