Sharing Your Burdens With God
If God is for us, who can be against us?
ROMANS 8:31 NKJV
The Bible promises this: tough times are temporary but God's love is
not-God's love endures forever. So what does that mean to you? Just this: From
time
to time, everybody faces hardships and disappointments, and so will you. And
when tough times arrive, God always stands ready to protect you and to heal
you. Your task is straightforward: you must share your burdens with Him.
As Corrie ten Boom observed, "Any concern that is too small to be turned into
a prayer is too small to be made into a burden." Those are comforting words,
especially in these difficult days.
Whatever the size of your challenges, God is big enough to handle them. Ask
for His help today, with faith and with fervor. Instead of turning things over
in your mind, turn them over to God in prayer. Instead of worrying about your
next decision, ask God to lead the way. Cast your burdens upon the One who
cannot be shaken, and rest assured that He always hears your prayers.
We are not called to be burden-bearers, but cross-bearers and light-bearers.
We must cast our burdens on the Lord. ~Corrie Ten Boom
When you're enjoying the fulfillment and fellowship that inevitably
accompanies authentic service, ministry is a joy. Instead of exhausting you, it
energizes
you; instead of burnout, you experience blessing. ~Bill Hybels
God knows what each of us is dealing with. He knows our pressures. He knows
our conflicts. And, He has made a provision for each and every one of them.
That provision is Himself in the person of the Holy Spirit, dwelling in us
and empowering us to respond rightly. ~Kay Arthur
No matter what we are going through, no matter how long the waiting for
answers, of one thing we may be sure. God is faithful. He keeps His promises.
What
He starts, He finishes . . . including His perfect work in us. ~Gloria Gaither
TODAY'S PRAYER
Dear Lord, whatever "it" is, You can handle it! Let me turn to You when I am
burdened and when I am worried. You are my loving Father, and I will always
trust You. Amen
