Allow Jesus to be your weight lifter

Why are you carrying burdens on your shoulders? are you loaded down with the cares of this life?
What you need to know is that you can let Jesus have anything that is burdening you.
In the book of 1 Peter 5:6-7 He said to cast your cares upon Him for He cares for you. Also in (Hebrews 12:1) the Bible tells us to “lay aside every weight that does so easily beset us”
I often hear Christians say how stressed they are, how they worry about everything. I sometimes have to remind myself to be at peace and know that God will take care of me. When I feel some sort of pressure from everyday life, my trust is not in myself or others, but in the Living God. He promises never to leave me nor forsake me. All I have to do is remember that He has brought me out of trials before and He can do it again.
I saw the weight lifter the other day on the TV and thought how hard it must be. He has worked up to lifting more and more. If it were too heavy, he would drop some weights off, I am sure.
This made me think that we, too, shouldn't carry the burdens, or the weights, on us either. Weights are those things that bog us down and pull on our spirits so much that we have no joy or peace.
Jesus is standing besides you He is the One who helps us. He takes those weights that are too heavy so they don't come crashing down on our chests.
Let us give those needless weights that we carry around to Jesus. Allow the Lord to lighten your load.
Remain blessed.
