Casting Our Burdens on the Lord

Written By Lettie Henley

"Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken." — Psalm 55:22

We are continuing our focus on God’s care for us this week:

Today, I feel led to remind you of a promise that anchors the soul: God invites us to cast all our burdens, every worry, every fear, every pain, on Him. When life feels heavy and our hearts are overwhelmed, this verse is a divine invitation to surrender everything into the loving hands of our Heavenly Father.

Carrying our worries alone can lead to exhaustion, anxiety, and despair. But God, in His infinite mercy, promises to sustain us when we release our cares. He's not just willing to hear our cry; He’s committed to holding us and strengthening us through every storm.

He will never let the righteous be shaken. This means that even when everything around us is trembling, our faith in Him is a firm foundation, firm because it’s built on His unchanging character and unwavering love.

Be intentional. Identify what’s weighing you down. Pray and genuinely cast those burdens onto God, speak honestly, release fully, and believe in His power to carry you. Trust that He will uphold you and keep you steady.

Prayer:

Lord, I come before You with all my worries and fears. I cast every burden at Your feet, trusting in Your promise to sustain me. Thank You that You will never let me be shaken. Your love is my fortress, and Your grace is my strength. Help me to remember daily to give everything to You and to walk in Your peace. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
