Cast Your Burden

Challenging times always arise when someone close to you decides to denounce there faith. To stop believing in something that they have wrestled through for a long time, giving up on the fact  that there was no good answer or that answer was not good enough.

We know face the facts of why did God let this happen, how could this happen, especially if that person has been poured into so much. We might go even as far as did I say enough? Should I have said more, done more, been there more? and then God cares about his lost sheep and it burdens him to know that one has turned their back on him. And just as we are to care about what he cares about we become burdened as well. But how are we, in the midst of school stressors and exams supposed to carry this burden for the lost?

I don't think God intended for us to take that burden anywhere, carry it any where, he expected it to be laid at his feet. God never intended for us to carry it, move it, or live with it. He wanted us to recognize it and bring it before Him to lay at His feet. To cast a heavy load into a new place and it is often not at all easy. To cast your burden at his feet will take time. We must remember to stand before our King in His throne room and place our burdens at His feet. This encounter only happens through prayer. Take the time to unload your burdens of others before the King, he wants you to stop carrying them, stop moving around and to

Cast your burden on the LORD,
and he will sustain you;
-Psalm 22:55a

Let Him do what he wanted to do in the first place, to sustain you.
