Scripture:
“Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.”
— Psalm 55:22 (NKJV)
Points:
- Burdens are not meant to be carried alone.
- God calls us to cast—not just share—what weighs us down.
- He does more than take the burden—He sustains us too.
- Stability comes not from strength, but from surrender.
- The Lord never allows His people to fall beyond His grasp.
Poem: What I Cannot Carry
The weight grew quiet on my back.
It bent my steps and slowed my breath.
But still I held it close and tight.
Afraid to drop what I had known.
Afraid to ask for stronger hands.
But then you said, “Cast it to me.”
Not hold it, shape it, store it long.
You said, “Let go and let me lift.”
You didn’t shame the burden’s size.
You only asked for trust and hands.
I cast the thing I could not fix.
The fear, the doubt, the shame, the plan.
You caught it like a faithful friend.
You placed your strength beneath my frame.
You walked with me in better peace.
The path still rose with heavy winds.
But I was not the one alone.
You bore the part that broke my will.
You kept me firm when I grew weak.
You did not let my feet give way.
Today I cast again the weight.
Not just in part, but all I bring.
You are the God who carries well.
You are the Lord who lifts with love.
You are the strength that keeps me sure.
Prayer:
Lord, I cast my burdens on You today. Sustain me where I am weak. Thank You for never letting me fall beyond Your hand. I trust You to carry what I can’t. Amen.
