When the worries of life press us down, we don’t have to bear them alone. Thank God, there is One Who is stronger than we are, willing to carry our load.
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
How much of our burden are we supposed to give to the Lord? "All you care".
Everything! We are not to keep the smallest part of a burden to ourselves. We are told to give it all to Jesus.
How can we do this? With the absolute confidence that He cares for us, Heb. 4:15.
Our burdens touch the heart of God, and He is moved on our behalf.

“If the world from you withhold of its silver and its gold, — And you have to get along with meager fare. — Just remember, in his Word, how he feeds the little bird, — Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
“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.
“If your body suffers pain and your health you can’t regain, — And your soul is almost sinking in despair. — Jesus knows the pain you feel, he can save and he can heal —
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
“When your enemies assail and your heart begins to fail, — Don’t forget that God in heaven answers prayer; — He will make a way for you and will lead you safely through — Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
“When your youthful days are gone and old age is stealing on, — And your body bends beneath the weight of care, — He will never leave you then, he’ll go with you to the end — Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.”
Charles A. Tindley 1916
