How to Let Go What’s Weighing You Down
Read Psalm 145:14
Today’s Truth
David points to God as our great burden bearer in Psalm 145. A burden bearer understands and carries our troubles and grievances for us. This doesn't mean God will instantaneously change our circumstances, but that He is with us in our burdens. He “...upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down” (Psalm 145:14).
God is not only willing to bear our burdens, He is able to.
Discussion Questions
- What is one burden you are currently carrying?
- Have you asked God for help carrying that burden? Explain how you hope God will work.
- What’s one thing you can do today to rely on God’s strength rather than your own?
Application
The way to hand off our heavy burden is to humbly admit, “God, I’m in over my head. I need your help.” We can trust that He is faithful and will come to our aid.
We are mere humans, but He is God whose “greatness is unfathomable” (Psalm 145:3). He is not standing on the sidelines when life gets tough. When you are ready to collapse, call out to God. He is ready to help.
