He Cares for You

Lay your burdens at the feet of Jesus,
Let Him bear your heavy load.
He will lead you through the lonesome valley,
As you travel down life's road.




Do you ever feel weighed down with the cares of life?

All of us at one time or another reach a point of feeling overwhelmed.

Life gets crazy.

But you were never intended to do life alone.

No matter how strong you are, you are not strong enough on your own.

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:7

This is such a sweet Scripture! How good it is to know we can give all our cares to a God who cares.

Leave it there,
Leave it there.
Take your burden to the Lord,
And leave it there.
If you trust and never doubt,
He will surely bring you out.
Take your burden to the Lord,
And leave it there.


You do not even have to wait until you reach the point of being overwhelmed with your burdens before giving them to the Lord. He wants to have a thriving relationship with you, because He loves you deeply. He wants to share your every trial and triumph.

Peter tells you to cast all your cares upon him, not just the big problems. ALL of your cares. God wants to be involved in every little details of your life, not used like a vending machine only in desperate emergency situations.

A regular, healthy prayer life is absolutely vital to the Christian life. Keeping yourself in constant contact with the Lord is what will bring you victory, freedom, and peace.

Bringing your burdens, and requests to God does not trouble or anger Him. He wants you to bring them!

What a friend we have in Jesus,
ALL our sins and griefs to bear.
What a privilege to carry,
Everything to God in prayer.
Oh what peace we often forfeit,
Oh what needless pain we bear.
All because we do not carry,
Everything to God in prayer.


Just a gentle reminder for you today:

He cares for YOU!


Dear Lord,

Thank you for caring so much about your children that you want to share in our every struggle. Help me to lean on You and embrace the priceless privilege of prayer.
