Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6. For most of us, it’s not easy to trust in the Lord in all things! There are times we feel pursued by financial trouble, bad health, a person who misjudges us, or someone who opposes us so that our “heart is in anguish.” In these and other hard times that may come upon us, we may want to retreat, give up, or simply run away! Although it may not seem like it at that moment, God is greater than the problems we face! The Psalmist wrote in Psalm 55:22 NLT, “Give your burdens to the Lord, and He will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.” Let’s cast our cares and burdens on the Lord. He will help us to do this! Our shoulders are not big enough to bear our burdens alone! God will show up! “Lord, we believe, but help our unbelief! Please increase our faith in you! Amen!
WHATSOEVER IT IS THAT PRESSES YOU. TELL YOUR FATHER; PUT OVER THE MATTER INTO HIS HAND, AND SO YOU WILL BE FREE FROM THAT DIVIDING, PERPLEXING CARE THAT THE WORLD IS FULL OF ( Archbishop Robert Leighton)
