Psalm 55:22

Psalm 55

22 

Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit
the righteous to be moved.

Cast your burden on the Lord. This is really easier said than done. We know that we should give things over to God, but we can’t manage to let go. They keep us from moving forward with God and from sharing God's work in our lives with others.

What baggage or burdens are you carrying around? Regrets? Maybe you just wish you had done things differently. Worry? Maybe you are concerned and consumed by the future. Shame? Maybe you are distraught over a sin you can’t seem to master. Relationships? Maybe you are too focused on the opinions of others and how they view you.

Whatever the burden is that you are carrying around- let it go. It is not what the Lord has for you. Give it to God. How? Spend time in prayer- ask for God to take it over. Seek Godly counsel- find someone you can talk to about what is plaguing you. Be a new creation- don’t allow yourself to fall back in the habits and routines that led to those burdens in the first place.

1 Peter 5:7- Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
