Why do we so often take the burdens of this world onto ourselves as if they are ours to carry? When will we understand that the flesh is weak and that we are not equipped to handle worry and stress. That is a burden that the Lord bears for us. Somehow we forget this and take things on ourselves when we have the solution right in front of us!
If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, hurt, etc. today, leave those things to Jesus. Give them to Him and let Him heal you. Pray and speak to Him and ask Him to relieve you. He will answer that prayer every time. Do not forget about the Jesus in others either. We are told to bear one another's burdens. Turn to your brothers and sisters in Christ when you are overwhelmed and be there for them when they need someone too. When we allow Jesus to carry the weight of the world, we are free to do the work of His Kingdom without any impediments. Let yourself rest in His freedom today.
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. (NIV)
Matthew 6:27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? (NIV)
Galatians 6:2 Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. (NIV)
Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. (ESV)
