When the burdens of life press us down, we don’t have to bear them alone.
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Thank God, there is One Who is stronger than we are and Who is willing to carry our load.
Our burdens touch the heart of God, and He is moved on our behalf. He is actively involved in caring for us.
Psalm 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

“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.
Chorus
“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.”
G. Albert Tindley 1916
