When we are burdened it touches 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.
He tells us to give Him everything
I’m so thankful that we have the Lord's promise of His Presence [Heb. 13:5; Matt. 28:20]. — His Provision [Phil. 4:19], and His Power, [Matt. 28:18].
Lay your burden at the feet of Jesus.
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.
Charles A.Tindley. 1916
