“Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.”
— Psalm 55:22
Throw your troubles on the Lord. Let go of them. Release the weight of the worries you carry around. God will take care of you. He won’t allow his followers to slip, fall, or fail.
Worries come in all shapes and sizes, and they can be heavy. Your burden might be divorced parents, hating the way you look, a crabby grandparent who lives with you, money worries, or living in a dangerous neighborhood. Whatever the problem that causes you to stumble, the solution is the same. “The steps of the godly are directed by the Lord. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand” (Psalm 37:23 – 24 NLT). Think of a small child holding on to her daddy’s hand. She trips over a rock, but Daddy’s hand grips hers tight so she doesn’t fall. That’s how your heavenly Father holds you. Hold on to God, and let him carry your worries.
