Let Jesus Carry It For You

September 02, 2026

“Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 (NLT)

There are times in each of our lives that we can feel like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. We find ourselves not only dealing with our problems, issues, and the things we go through on a daily basis, but we also are dealing with things from family, friends, and even co-workers. When all the things we are dealing with come to a head we can feel like there is no one to help us, because we are trying to help everyone else. When we begin to feel like all alone we want to withdraw from everything and everyone and we can even start to think about giving up. When we get to this point it is the time we need to look to The Lord and allow Him to take the weight off our shoulders. The Scripture reminds us, Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” I encourage you today to stop trying to carry the weight of the world by yourself, give it Jesus and let Him carry it all for you. You do not have to be superman or superwoman, you can give those things that are weighing you down over to The Lord, and He will not only carry them for you, He will handle them for you. It is good to know that when the load is too heavy for me to bear, I can go to Jesus and He will carry them for me. Since I know that I do not have to carry everything by myself, and The Lord will carry them for me, I have no doubt, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord, thank you for carrying my heavy loads in life. Thank you for being my burden bearer and for loving me through every season of my life. Thank you Lord for all you do for me, and thank you Lord for always being there for me. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
