TOO HEAVY TO CARRY

We are told to bear one another’s burdens, but there are also times that the Lord says to give those cares to him because they are too heavy for us to carry.

We are not Holy Spirit Junior. We can pray, but only God can move on a person to change their heart. Often, there are times when someone does not want to change. They are satisfied to stay in the rut they have built. You can pray and take authority over their situation, but you also must give it to Jesus.

Then, and this is the hardest part. You must leave that situation with God. You must choose not to think of it anymore. You have given it to God and being God, He knows everything. He knows the state of the person’s heart, and when he tells you to cast that care on him it means he will carry it from then on, and not you.

This is not easy when you care about a person. Satan will flood your mind with doubt and unbelief that things will change. This is why you must wear the helmet of salvation to avoid listening to those thoughts. If you truly give this situation to God, then let him carry it my friend. Do not bring it up again. It is settled.

Now, give that situation that is too heavy for you to carry to God, and leave it there. When a thought tries to come that is negative, say, “No! I will not listen to it.”

If you do not do this, you will be tormented with thoughts from Satan, and will eventually end up sick. Is it worth it? NO! You have to train yourself to think on the promises of God rather than think on your circumstances. This is the fight of faith. You win because God has promised that you will win. He is stronger than you are and able to take the load IF YOU LET HIM.
