Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
The bag of rocks you keep giving to Jesus and taking back is going to get heavier and heavier if you choose to carry the burden yourself. The Lord tells us all who are weary to go to Him and rest. He also tells us to cast all our cares unto Him. There is absolutely no need for us to carry the worries of our life on our own backs. I know it is hard and I had a scare earlier this week where my husband had to keep reminding me that God was in control. And I have witnessed so much in my life for me to know better, yet I was still anxious and I have to say it was a horrible feeling. I was not at peace and I walking around all nervous. I am grateful the Lord touched my heart to comfort me and He gave me His peace to the situation and I let go and let Him. That is all He wants us to do....let go and trust Him. To some it may seem lazy or cowardly, but to the Lord...it is the most honorable thing we can do for we are showing Him that we have faith in His ability and in His word above our own. When we choose to hold on to things it tells God we think we can handle it better than He. I know it sounds silly but that is the message we send. If you have burdens and are heavy laden with stress or worry...may this be the day you lay it all down at His feet and rest in Him and His wonderful promise to us.."Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
