A few thoughts today on what it means to cast all our cares on the Lord …

What are we giving to the Lord when we give him our burdens?

• Our worry and anxiety about the situation
• Our obsessive desire to think about the situation
• Our need to control the situation
• Our helplessness because we can’t control the situation

What are we not giving to the Lord when we give him our burdens?

• Our concern for the situation
• Our grief and  hurt caused by the situation
• Our responsibility toward the situation

What do we receive from the Lord when we give him our burdens?

• The internal, spiritual resources we need to deal with the situation
• The wisdom to identify our responsibilities within the situation
• The ability to rest despite the situation
• The peace of knowing that God is sovereign over the situation
