Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. -1 Peter 5:7(NLT)
CAST YOUR CARES TO GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Is something bothering you lately?
God is there and cares for you constantly
Give all your worries and cares to Christ
He loves you more than anyone in this life.
Whenever you feel lonely and sad, run to him
He will give you strength so you can overcome sin
Cast your cares to the only One who understands you
He has power to make you whole and brand new.

There were many years of my life that I carried all my burdens alone. I was made to believe that someone who is strong doesn’t need anyone else. I relied on myself alone because I knew from experience that many people are not trustworthy and haven’t been really there for me in times of trouble. I was independent from anyone else for so many years. I acted like a super woman, trying to tell myself that I didn’t really need anyone. It wasn’t long when I got so sick that I had to depend on my little boy who was barely eight years old. God taught me a lesson. I can’t make it in life alone, especially not without his help.
The bible tells us that we need to cast our cares to God because he loves us immensely.
PRAYER
Lord, teach me how to always rely on you especially in times of weakness.
REFLECTION
What happens when you don’t share your burdens with Jesus?

SHARING BURDENS poem devotional

Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. –Galatians 6:2(NLT)
SHARING BURDENS
A poem and essay by ILMA
What burdens do you have that is so heavy?
Do you have the courage to share them to somebody?
Be vulnerable; open your afflictions with one another
He made us to relate to our sisters and brothers.
Share your challenges amongst the body of Christ
It will strengthen and encourage you to face life
It shows your need for God and all his chosen ones
Humility is shown when you share yourself to someone.________________________________________
The world dictates us to hide our weaknesses and show only the side that is perfect to others. These people learn to mask and cover up all their difficulties and trials. I know someone who never showed his true identity. He had a front to each person, just like playing a role to them. One day, he got so confused because he couldn’t remember what role he played to someone and mixed it up with the other pretend part he did with someone else. We could go on living masquerades in our lives but it doesn’t do us any good. In fact, it makes our lives stressful, trying to mask our weaknesses.
The bible tells us that sharing our burdens with others is a true act of humility. Humility is acknowledging both your strengths and weaknesses and sharing it with others.
PRAYER
Lord, give me courage to share my burdens.
REFLECTION
Why are we commanded to share our burdens with others?
