Have you ever been in so much pain after trying to lift something too heavy without anyone’s help? If you have, you know that the aftermath is not something you want to deal with. Even if you are young and feel invincible, carrying a heavy box or furniture can severely affect your body. Our bodies are precious and require care and attention. If we have to take care of our bodies and not risk our health by taking on tasks that could cause harm, now imagine the heavy burden in life that is stressing you out.
Life can be challenging, with heavy burdens weighing us down. Maybe it’s money problems, a family that’s not getting along, an addiction that you can’t shake, or a heart that’s struggling to forgive. God is in control of the situation if you allow Him to be. Dear friend, God doesn’t want to see you suffering; He wants to take control of your life. The Bible says:
“Cast your cares on the LORD, and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.” Psalm 55.22
You can find relief and peace in the Almighty, knowing He is there to carry your burdens. If you need support, you will find it in God. If you need help in this challenging situation, you will find it in God, who cares for you.
Take a moment now, and make a prayer telling God what burdens you are carrying. Invite Him into your life, and let Him take care of you. God needs your invitation to give you a new life and relieve you from all burdens on your shoulders. By inviting Him in, you are taking the first step towards finding peace and strength.
May the God of the Bible bless you!
Bishop Bira Joshua
