Give Jesus your burdens.

“Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” Psalms 55:22

The troubles you face are not yours to carry alone—surrender them to the Lord, the willing burden bearer. Throughout life, burdens will surely come, but as a child of God, you must know where to place them. Do not carry them on your head or weigh them upon your heart; instead, lay them at the feet of Jesus. Just as He invited us in Matthew 11:28, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest," so must we trust Him. Martha worried about many things, but Mary chose to sit at Jesus’ feet and receive His peace (Luke 10:41-42). Follow her example—choose to rest in the Lord’s presence rather than be consumed by anxiety.

The scriptures guide us in handing over our burdens to the Lord. First, seek a word from God, for His promises never fail (Isaiah 55:11). Today, His word to you is clear: the burden is not yours to bear. Second, surrender it in prayer, saying, "Lord, take control." Third, believe that He has heard you and will act on your behalf, as Jesus assured us in Mark 11:24, "What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." Once you have entrusted it to Him, cease worrying and begin to praise God, for He has already lifted the load. May every burden in your life be lifted in Jesus' name!

Prophetic word: I decree and declare that from today, every burden in your life is lifted! The weight that held you down is broken, and the peace of God is resting upon you. You will walk in joy, favor, and divine breakthrough. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every troubling situation is turning around for your good. Receive strength, receive grace, and step into the rest of the Lord, in Jesus’ name. Amen!

Prayer: I thank You for being my refuge and strength, my burden-bearer and my deliverer. Today, I surrender every worry, fear, and challenge into Your mighty hands. Lord, I release this weight—knowing that You are already working on my behalf. Let Your peace that surpasses all understanding flood my heart (Philippians 4:6-7). Father, I choose faith over fear, trust over doubt, and worship over worry. I declare that every mountain before me is being moved, every chain is breaking, and every heavy load is lifted in the name of Jesus. I will not be shaken, for You are my Rock and my salvation. Thank You, Lord, for the victory that is already mine. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
