Do you miss your burdens ? 

Fear. Anxiety. Family hardships. Financial difficulties. Depression. Grief. All. The. Things. 

God’s Word tells us that He will bear all of that and MORE! Everything that weighs us down. His Truth says we can come to Him when we are weary, that we take His yoke upon us. 

“Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

I don’t know about ya’ll, but I read that and I’m all about it! 

He will give us rest ✅ 

He will teach us ✅ 

Rest for my soul ✅ 

His yoke is easy  ✅ 

His burden is LIGHT – ✅ 

Yet… in my controlling, human, weak self, what do I do? I turn around and pick those burdens right back up! Ughhh. Like, do I really miss that heaviness? Nowhere does He say I will give you rest like a “nap” – for a little while, or bear your burdens “partially”. 

“Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” Psalm 55:22

God knows that we allow some of those heavy burdens to literally weigh us down so much we can’t even look up. That’s not what He wants for you my friend – for any of us. Our Father tells us to cast our cares on HIM. To lay them down at the foot of the cross and WALK AWAY. Seek, pray, find the hem of His garment ya’ll- and FIND REST FOR YOUR SOUL. He will SUSTAIN you. ❤️❤️
