Cast Your Burdens on the Lord

The past few days have been extremely challenging for me. I felt like I had reached the point that I could no longer handle the trials I had been handed. Per advice from a good friend, I fervently prayed the past two days to the Lord, expressing how much pain I was in, and that I could no longer handle it anymore, that I needed His help to overcome these new challenges. After spending some time in worship, meditation and prayer, I can say that my burdens were lifted, and the empty hollow of pain was filled with a quiet peace and comfort and I feel light and renewed with spirit. I am grateful to the Lord and for His Son, Jesus Christ for removing my burdens and filling my heart with comfort.

Psalms 55:22
Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Matthew 11:28-30
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
