The Burden-Bearer
Scripture
Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
(1 Peter 5:7)
Devotional
What burdens are you carrying? What worries do you have? You do not have to bear them alone. As a matter of fact, you do not have to bear many of them at all.
We do not have to carry burdens that we cannot change. There are situations in life that we have absolutely no control over. We cannot change them, fix them or make them better by worrying or fretting. Therefore, there is only one thing to do with them and that is to give them to Christ. You know the saying, “Let go, and let God.”
Now, there are things we can change. Nevertheless, we may not be able to change them alone. Again, cast them upon the Lord. He will never leave you to a burden that you cannot handle. He will either instruct you on how to lift it, help you lift it, or lift it for you. He will give you exactly what you need. He is faithful that way. You can trust Him. He cares for you.
