“Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.” (Psalm 55:22)

According to a Wall Street Journal report, anxiety has overtaken depression as the leading mental health problem in the United States. Anxiety-fighting drugs are now the top-selling pharmaceutical products. Even with a booming economy and a healthy stock market, worry and apprehension remain part of our human condition – one that can never be adequately relieved by a pill.

When David composed Psalm 55, his mind was agitated by the same types of situations we struggle with today:

   He recoiled in horror from the violence, anger, and abuse that stalked the city streets (Psalm 55: 9-11).

   He suffered the anguish of being betrayed by a close friend (Psalm 55: 1,2-1,4).

   He longed to leave and escape to a place of peace (Psalm 55: 4-8).

Because David’s anxious pain mirrors our own, his prescription for relief can be ours as well. He wrote, “I will call upon God, and the Lord shall save me. . . Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you” (vv. 16,22). 

Anxiety is a burden we are not called to bear. Instead, we are to lay our concerns on Christ because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7 and Philippians 4:6-7). If your heart is weighed down today, the Lord is ready to bear every burden you give Him. God invites us to burden Him with what burdens us.

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come to You with a heavy heart, weighed down by worries and fears. Help me to cast my burdens upon You, trusting in Your loving care and sustaining power. May Your peace guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Amen.

Salvation Prayers

If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
