Cast Your Burden to the Lord

March 31, 2014 - Cast Your Burden to the Lord – Manna by Dorothy Callies

Psalm 55:22, KJV “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer (let) the righteous to be moved.” NLT, “Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.”

Even Peter encourages us to “Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about what happens to you” (1Pet.5:7 NLT). When we carry our worries, stresses, and daily struggles by ourselves, it shows that we have not trusted God fully with our lives. God spoke to my heart to share with you that we sometimes don’t realize that we are carrying our burdens upon ourselves.

The word, cast means to throw is like ‘to cast a stone’ or is like ‘to cast a fishing line.’ The word, throw means to send through the air is like ‘a ball we threw over the fence.’ So God is asking us to “throw all your worries and cares unto the Lord.” Let’s pretend that you have a ball into your hands, and we look at the ball and say, “I put all my worries and problems and sicknesses into the ball and now I am throwing the ball unto the Lord’s hands and He will catch it.” In the name of Jesus I will learn to “commit everything I do to the Lord. I will trust Him, and He will help me.” (ref. Ps.37:5)

Praise the Lord! It takes our humble hearts to recognize that God does cares. We need to admit our needs and let God have our anxieties and learn to submit our circumstances to the Lord who controls circumstances. Trust God who supports you to carry your cares, worries, and problems. Remember to “throw your burden to the Lord.” Why? It is because He cares for you.”

Song: Burdens Are Lifted at Calvary

1. Days are filled with sorrow and care,

Hearts are lonely and drear;
