Psalm 55:22 (NKJV) 22 Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.
One day as I was on my knees praying, I was heavyhearted with so many things. I heard the Lord say to me in this very gentle, but yet firm voice, “you are not the Savior, you know”. I replied back to Him, “Oh Lord, of course I’m not. You are!”. “Well”, the Lord said, “your actions show differently”.
Suddenly I realized what was happening. I had gotten so busy and concerned about the things I was seeing and hearing, that I neglected to take the time I needed to stop and pray about them. Instead, I carried them.
More things kept coming and piling up. It was getting so heavy on me it began to affect me physically. I was getting tired, moody, and I started to get an attitude. That happens when you are carrying a heavy load and you don’t get God’s help.
You see, when we pray and we give the things we are concerned about to God, He takes them, leaving us lighter and free.
Yep. So if you are feeling this way, let me say to you what I heard the Lord say to me; You are not the Savior you know.
Give those things that you are carrying to the Lord. Tell Him about it and leave it there. He will deal with them accordingly as we trust Him with them. He knows what it will take to fix them.
We were not made to carry them, but to cast them.
