“One day I found my son
straining to lift a pair of four-pound barbells over his head—an ambitious feat
for a toddler. He had raised them only a few inches off the ground, but his
eyes were determined and his face was pink with effort. I offered to help, and
together we heaved the weight up toward the ceiling. The heavy lifting that was
so hard for him was easy for me”. ( J.B.S. – american writer)
Jesus has
this perspective on the stuff that’s hard for us to manage. When life seems
like a carousel of catastrophes, Jesus isn’t fazed by a fender-bender, troubled
by a toothache, or harassed by a heated argument—even if it all happens in one
day! He can handle anything, and that is why He said, “Come to Me, all you who
labor and are heavy laden” (Matt. 11:28).
Are you
worn out from ongoing problems? Are you weighed down with stress and worry?
Jesus is the only real solution. Approaching the Lord in prayer allows us to
cast our burdens on Him so that He can sustain us (Ps. 55:22).
Today, ask Him to assist you with everything. By helping you with your burdens,
He can supply rest for your soul, for His yoke is easy and His burden is light
(Matt.
11:29-30).
Prayer is
the place where burdens change shoulders. (RBC)
