Mother Teresa once said "I know God won't give me anything I can't handle, I just wish he didn't trust me so much!" Some days we start to feel like there is too much resting on us and we just cannot go on. So what do you do then? When the world and the life you are leading are weighing you down past what you can carry?
1 Peter 5:7 says:
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
When you feel like you are holding up too much, lay it down. Stop trying to hold it all up on your own. We are weak and fragile and we cannot, and were not created to, take care of everything on our own. We have to lay it down and let God take control of everything.
Psalm 146:8 says:
The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down.
If you are weighed down today, leave everything with God. He is big enough, strong enough, and steady enough to hold it. He won't drop it, he won't give it back when it gets even heavier, and he won't let us down along the way.
Psalm 145:14
The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads.
Our God is our help in time of need, our strong tower, and our shelter. So why do we, his Children, continue trying to take care of everything on our own? Or worse yet, give everything to God to take care of, only to continue going back to all of it and picking it up again. When you tell God you trust him to handle things, then continue worrying about them or trying to fix them on your own, you tell God you don't think he is strong enough to fix it himself.
Matthew 6:34
Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.
When you have the God of the universe, the creator of all things on your side... Why do you keep trying to take care of things on your own? If your life is too heavy, lay down your load to the one who has always been holding it up anyway.
