TRUST HIM, HE WILL BEAR BOTH YOU AND YOUR BURDEN (Friday, 6th November 2026)
Text: 1 Peter 5:1-11 “Casting all your care upon Him; for He cares for you.” (vs. 7).
As long as we live on earth, we will continue to depend on God for our lives to have a meaning and make impact. However, anyone who put his trust in something else will always have himself to blame by the end result. Life is full of so many things that may make one to lose his or her sleep if care is not taken. But stop a bit, and think about it – does any of those things you worry about actually happen? If you would be truthful enough, you will discover that most of those things do not happen. So, why do you spend so much time worrying about what you cannot actually change by yourself? God works in wonders and as many that put their trust in Him will surely become beneficiaries of His wonders.
From our text for today, the Bible implores you to put your anxiety, your distracting care, on Him, for He cares for you; He has interest in what goes on in your life. I love what the Psalmist says in Ps. 115:12a, “The Lord has been mindful of us.” Beloved, he, who knows that God cares for him, need have no anxiety. Also, Ps. 55:22 says, “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he will sustain thee.” He will bear both you and your burden. Instead of wasting your precious energy, worrying about things you cannot change, the best thing to do is to put that energy into prayer. He is the only one who can change and fix it; and you can only connect to Him through prayer. Many people have passed to the great beyond on the platform of anxiety. Don’t follow them!
You are a Champion!
