May 6 Petition Mission

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

Notice what the verse does not say. When your burden is transferred by faith on the Lord, it is not only your burden He carries. “He shall sustain YOU.” This is a sure cure for worry. If you take all your bothers to the Lord, they should cease to bother you; if they do come to mind, put them back at His feet.

So here are the facts. 1. God has guaranteed that He will not allow a greater burden on you than is bearable by you (1 Cor 10:13). 2. God has guaranteed that even the most difficult things in life will be worked for our good (Rom 8:28). 3. God has guaranteed that those who do commit everything to Him in prayer will, in return, receive “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,” and that this will garrison our “hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Php 4:7). Believers are as safe as if they were already in heaven. Now if only we can daily cast and daily trust!
