We all get weighed down by the worries and concerns that this life brings our way, but our Lord is able to carry those burdens for us. We just need to let Him.

Burdens that I hold on to

that I was never meant to carry

the stuff of life that can bring me down

the worries and cares that cause

my shoulders to sag from the weight

I lay them all down at the feet of my Lord

He will lift them up

because He is strong enough to carry them

so that I don’t have to

    Wonderful! good write… He is always there for us. It’s sad that we tend to forget Him in our good days.

    Amen. Yes it is sad. Thank goodness that He never leaves us. He is with us every single day whether we realize it or now. Thanks for the comment.

    I’m not a religious person but I do know how powerful faith in something can be. Faith does give us strength when we need it most.
