Tag: What the Bible says about letting God carry our burdens

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-25-19

Matthew 11:30 (NKJV) 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Let it out.

We need to open our mouth in prayer and release what we have been carrying.

Whatever you are going through, or helping someone go through, the weight of it must be released or surrendered to God.

If we try to carry it, it will mess with us and interfere with the things we need to continue on in.

Just recently I spent a week helping someone get through a bad situation. I know that only God knew what I was dealing with. The person themselves had no idea what was going on in the atmosphere around them.

I don’t even think I fully comprehend most of what was happening. But I could feel the weight of it, and it was heavy.

When it was over, I was in prayer the next day, and what I felt come off me or my spirit man was sadness and sorrow. I had never felt this to such a degree as I felt it that day. But, thank God He was there. And I left it at His feet.

He is faithful to lift the weight of what we are going through or what we may be helping others go through. After we have helped with our part, it’s important to remember to let go or release it all to God, and be free from it.

Some of us have never been taught to release it. But it is a necessity. And if we don’t release it, we will feel the weight, the numbness, the constant dwelling on it. It can even bring confusion at times.

It’s not ours to carry. Let it go.

1 Peter 5:7 (NKJV) 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-1-19

Isaiah 46:4 (NKJV) 4 Even to your old age, I am He, And even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you.

We all try to carry the load at one time or another. We say we are not going to rely on anyone else. We need to feel like we can do it ourselves.

Sometimes it’s good we can get certain things done ourselves and not have to rely on any help at all. But, there are some things that God does not want us to carry.

We tend to worry over and over about the same things. Things that we can’t carry. They are way too heavy for us, and if we don’t see it as being too much, we will hurt ourselves trying.

It’s like a weightlifter trying to lift way beyond their capability. They can keep on trying, but they will only hurt themselves in the process. We’ve got to know our limits. And our body has a way of telling us.

God doesn’t want us carrying a heavy load and being in a constant state of worrying. It’s not that we should pretend that nothing is wrong, or that we don’t acknowledge our current situation.

But, whatever it may be at that time, He wants us to take it to Him.

When we share our heaviness with Him, we open up and tell Him what it is that’s causing our stress. We ask for help and we wait on Him for the answer.

Then there is no need to dwell on it. Go about our day and keep walking, expecting God to carry us through. Amen.
