Cast Your Cares Upon The Lord…

Are you tired, weary and so burdened that you just feel like giving up? Have the worries of this life and of this world broken you down to almost nothing? All of us face tough times in our lives, however Jesus will always bring us through those hard times. He is our anchor during the storms of life. He is our rock in times of trouble, and if we ever feel that things are getting to be too much, and we feel like we are sinking, his gentle loving hand is right there to lift us up and bring us out. All you have to do is call upon the Lord and cast your cares upon him. Some people are able to cast their cares upon the Lord with no problem, but unfortunately, they don’t always leave them there. Sometimes we take things to the Lord, we leave our burdens at the foot of the cross, only ..to take them back again.

The Bible says in the Book of Matthew, chapter 11:28-29:
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”

Psalm 55:22 says:
Cast your cares on the LORD
and he will sustain you;
he will never let the righteous fall

1 Peter 5:7 says:
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

The Greek word for “cast” means to throw it away. So cast (i.e. throw) your pain, your disappointment, your broken dreams, your heartache upon the Lord for he truly cares for you. You don’t have to carry it around any longer like baggage that goes with you every where you go. Let go of it and lay it down at the cross of Jesus. You do not have to carry that heavy load any longer, just lay it at the feet of Jesus.

Jesus loves you and does not want you carrying that heavy burden alone, in fact, he would rather you not carry it at all. Won’t you take a chance and trust in Jesus to lift your burdens from you today?
