Burdens

“Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall.” Psalm 55:22
We all have cares and worries that arise in life. Some are small and seem insignificant; others are large and feel overwhelming at times. But it’s important to remember, no matter how big your burden is, that it is never too big or heavy for God. And, no matter how small it is, it’s not too small for God to care about.
Think of a soft drink can. If it’s empty, and we stand on it, the can will be crushed. How can a can be stood on without being crushed? If it is full. The pressure from the outside is still the same, and the can is still made of the same material, but it’s the contents that keep the can in shape and help it resist that external pressure. Similarly with us: if we are full of the Holy Spirit, He strengthens us against any outside pressure. But we need to trust Him, that we won’t be crushed.
Here are some more verses to encourage you:
“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light” (Matt. 11:28-30).
“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you” (1 Pet. 5:7).
