Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

(Galatians 6:2 ESV)

How can I bear by myself the weight and burden of you and your strife?

(Deuteronomy 1:12 ESV)

Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

(1 Peter 5:7 ESV)

I was waiting at the cross walk for my grandkids after school. I caught about half of the song called “Rest For Your Soul” by Austin French:

“Come to me
All who are weary and heavy burdened
All who are hurting
Come to me
I’ll be your shelter
My yoke is easy, my load is light
And you can find rest for your soul
Rest for your soul”

Rest for Your Soul by Austin French

The thing that caught my attention was the phrase “you were never meant to carry it alone.” It was somewhere in the song. How many times do we try to go it alone? Why do we try to figure things out on our own? God is just waiting for us to figure out that He is waiting for us to give it all to Him. So why not just give Him our problems? 

He wants our problems. He wants to fix them for us. So we need to let Him. No matter how big or small, He wants our problems. He wants us to turn to Him in every circumstances. So do it. Give it to God to fix. Then just rest knowing God is on the job.

Have a great day, everyone. And remember, God loves you and so do I.
