Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken! Psalm 55:22

 Back in 2013, I moved into my new home after my divorce. Living single, money was tight and the bills never seemed to end. I recall one week all I had was $20 in my wallet and it was a Monday with payday 4 days away. I prayed for God to help me get through the week. Not too long after that prayer, I looked in my fridge to find it full of food, more than enough to get me through the week, my gas tank was full in my truck, and all the bills that week had been paid. I literally broke down and thanked God for His goodness.

 What burden are you carrying into 2025? May be a health issue, financial, relational, or more of an emotional crisis and you feel like the world is against you. Today’s verse is a great reminder that God is ready, willing, and capable of handling any burden you carry. All you have to do is give it to Him through prayer and faith, with the belief that He will do what’s necessary to ease its weight. Trusting God is what He wants from you, so you don’t try to sustain life’s burdens alone. His love has a way of brining you back to dependence upon Him.

 But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31

 Friend, trust me when I tell you, God wants to be involved in your everyday life. When you depend upon Him daily to meet the needs and carry the weight of your burdens, He works in ways that are beyond your sight, but all for your benefit. I’ve seen it time after time in my life and He will do the same for you! What burden can you release into His loving hands today? Happy New Year!
