Burden Bearer
Releasing your burden to the Lord in Prayer
Jesus cares for you. When you walked without Jesus, you had to face all of life's problems by yourself. However, now you have a "Burden Bearer ". This means that you can cast the weight of every problem upon His shoulders and He will help you. Let's look at some Bible verses that reveal Him as the Burden Bearer.
Scriptures
Ps 68:19 "Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, The God [who] is our salvation. Selah."
Matt 11:28-30 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My load is light."
Ps 55:22 "Cast your burden upon the LORD, and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken."
1Pet .5:6-7 ...casting all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you."
Phil 4:6-7 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Prayer: Jesus, My Burden Bearer
"Jesus, I embrace You as my Burden Bearer. I name each burden one by one (take time here and be specific) and release them into Your care. I thank You that You daily bear my burden. I thank You that Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light. I am so used to working things out on my own that I need Your help so I can depend on You more. I am sorry for all the times I have tried to bear my own burdens-not leaning on You. Lord I need Your peace that surpasses my understanding, so according to Your Word I open my heart and receive it from You. I have cast my cares on You, and I am grateful that this peace will guard my heart and mind. Thank You Jesus for being a Burden Bearer! Blessed be Your holy Name." Amen
