We carry such a weight through life it’s almost crazy. We were never intended to have this kind of load on our shoulders. Worry, anxiety, fear, mistakes…they all just sit on our shoulders and heap a load on us that often we can’t even stand.
This morning I want to share with you a song that really speaks to this very thing. If we would learn to cast our cares on the who promises to take them, our lives would be a lot different. Our pains prevent us from finding peace. Our struggles steal our ability to see our Savior. Our fears lead us to future failures. Our past mistakes melt our confidence.
The bible is an invitation to cast our cares on Him. It’s an invitation to give our burdens and our pains to the God who invites us to call him Father. It’s such a wonderful thing. In exchange for our cares, he offers us hope and peace. These things the world can’t give. Cast your cares on him.
This morning I sit in front of my computer tired. There are burdens on my shoulders and it’s time to cast them on Jesus. Take a minute from your day and just pause. Give these struggles on Jesus and let him take over. All of our worrying and all of our fear won’t change the reality of the situation before us. Cast these on Jesus. Then lift your head and realize that the same Jesus who takes away these burdens is also the one who walks with you through the most treacherous and terrifying moments of life. There’s hope for today. There’s a light in front of us to guide us when we don’t know where to go.
I will cast my cares upon him because he promises to be faithful.
