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.
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Jesus tells us to give Him everything, not to keep even the smallest part of a burden to ourselves.
Does Jesus care? Yes. Seek Him.

“Does Jesus care when my heart is pained —
Too deeply for mirth or song. — As the burdens press, and the cares distress, — And the way grows weary and long?
Chorus:
“Oh, yes, He cares, I know He cares, — His heart is touched with my grief; — When the days are weary, the long nights dreary, — I know my Savior cares.
“Does Jesus care when my way is dark — With a nameless dread and fear? — As the daylight fades into deep night shades, — Does He care enough to be near?
“Does Jesus care when I’ve tried and failed — To resist some temptation strong; — When for my deep grief there is no relief, — Though my tears flow all the night long?
“Does Jesus care when I’ve said “goodbye” — To the dearest on earth to me, — And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks — Is it aught to Him? Does He see?”
