Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.
Psalm 55:22
Learning to cast our burdens to God will help us stay on the right path, confidently walking with Him. The Lord already knows our struggles, the ones we have and will have. God wants us to share our problems. Relationships require communication, and life involves community, beginning with our connection to the Lord, our Savior, our Comforter, and our Sustainer.
Identifying our problems leads to solutions. If we don’t acknowledge we have a burden, we can’t begin the journey to overcome it. Without awareness, we can’t find victory. Knowing the struggle and then sharing it with God and others helps us defeat the enemy and find the Lord’s sustenance.
Controlling emotions under pressure challenges me. I want to respond in anger when life’s frustrations pop up. Identifying the ingrained response helps me to overcome it. Praying and asking the Lord to remove the bitter root helps me defeat the burden that causes me more problems. Once I identified the issue, I could develop coping techniques to respond differently, not causing harm but instead finding victory through the Lord.
Ask God to help you identify the burdens in your life. Get to the root of the problem with the Lord and discover freedom from your issues. Partnering with the Lord will help you overcome life’s challenges and find His peace and sustenance to help you stand firm. Let the Lord fight your battles and give Him glory for the victory.
