Cast your burden on the LORD
Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken. - Psalm 62:5-6 NLT
Attaining freedom from anxiety, worry, stress, and pressure is a high priority for most people today.
We live in a world with an increasingly rapid pace of change, and change brings uncertainty. Uncertainty tends to bring worry, stress, and a general feeling of being unsettled.
Sometimes you just wake up feeling unsettled, or you feel uneasy but you can’t pinpoint why.
Feeling unsettled, uneasy, and anxious tends to sap your joy and faith. Those feelings of dread or “not knowing” can throw a wet blanket on your outlook or hope for the future.
God’s word says “Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you”. Learning to “cast all our cares on Him” and be “anxious about nothing” is easier said than applied, but we need to make a conscious effort to give our burdens to the Lord. We need to learn to surrender our fears and worries to Him. - Peter Amsterdam [1]
If God be our God, He will give us peace in trouble. when there is a storm without, He will make peace within. The world can create trouble in peace, but God can create peace in trouble. - Thomas Watson (c. 1620–1686)
