Lesson #3

Cast all your cares on the Lord

Psalm 55:22 ~ Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

No matter what your circumstances may be, God can - and will - carry you through them.  Sometimes you may be weighed down by a situation that seems too heavy for you. Do not try to cope with this burden alone.  Instead, bring it into His care and keeping.  Although your circumstances may not change right away, you can find real relief through this process.

Casting your burden on Him is a spiritual transaction.  You trust Him and acknowledge that He is in charge of your life and that the outcomes are ultimately His domain.  This lightens your load immensely, relieving you from feeling responsible for things beyond your control.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, leaning not unto your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.  Proverbs 3:5-6

He tells us to come to Him when we are burdened.  Matthew 11:28-30 ~ Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

When you come to Him weary and burdened, He has promised that He will give you rest.  Take His yoke upon you - trusting in His unfailing Love - and let Him carry your heavy load.  For He says His yoke is easy and His burden is light.

All that weighs heavy on you is not for you to carry. Give it all to Him!  Cast your cares on Him and leave it at His feet to take care of, because He cares for you!  1 Peter 5:7

When we put our cares in His hands, He puts His peace in our hearts!

Casting all my cares on the Lord,
