Lift Your Burdens to God!

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:6-7


I know that many of us have things going on in our lives that are placing heavy burdens on our hearts.  Some maybe more severe than others.  However, we don’t have to allow our circumstances to control our lives.  God doesn’t expect us to carry our burdens.  Jesus spoke with His very own words in Matthew 11:28, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”  All we have to do is give it all to Him.  The Bible says that if we do this, the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus, plus He will give us rest.  It is very clear that God doesn’t want us to live our lives carrying burdens and problems.  


The devil tries to keep us trapped in our problems and circumstances, but it's time to take back our lives!  What a beautiful promise in the Word of God that we have in I John 3:8b, "The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work."  We do not have to carry our worries and problems any more.  What a gift God has given us!  All we have to do is give it to Him!  All we have to do is trust Him.  God is the only One that will never let us down.  What a wonderful comfort we have!


Today, let's give everything to God!  He wants to help you!  He wants to free you!  He wants to heal you!  He wants to bless you!  He wants you to live in His peace!  Praise the Lord!
