Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. – Psalm 55:22(NLT)
GIVE YOUR BURDENS TO GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you afraid of something or someone?
Have you been rejected or abused by anyone?
Has someone betrayed your confidence and trust?
Do you feel defeated, frustrated or downcast?
Give your burdens to the Lord and trust in him
No matter what your circumstance or how hopeless it seems
The Lord will not permit the godly to slip and fall
He is faithful to those who repent, confess and call.
What is in your heart lately? Is it an unsaved loved one, a marriage falling apart, a prodigal child, financial burdens or physical illnesses? We ought to pray and ask the Lord for guidance and strength to go through life’s challenges. He will never give you anything you cannot handle. He doesn’t also guarantee a trouble free life. In fact, the closer you are to God, the more tests you undergo. He wants to strengthen you for his greater glory.
A true believer cast his cares and burdens to the Lord while unbelievers tend to do things their own way. They heavily rely on themselves while believers trust and surrender all things to God. He works out things for good and never for bad.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for your faithfulness.
REFLECTION
What burdens do you need to surrender to God today?
