I Can't Do This Anymore

When the weight of the world is on your shoulders, there is One who understands, One who can help you carry it and let go of it.  He will take the full weight of the load you are trying to manage on your own.  Jesus is willing to carry all your burdens, even the self made ones.  The Bible tells us that God cares about everything we are concerned about.  Nothing is too big or too small for His help.  

The cause of our unsettled soul doesn't have to meet certain requirements.  God meets us right where we are and He accepts us in all our brokenness.  From the moment we look up and say, "Please, LORD, help me."  The grace of God is poured out into our lives and Jesus removes the load off of our back.  He takes all that we will give Him.  

               Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] 
                              Matthew 11:28 Amplified

Jesus removes everything that weighs us down and He gives us rest.  He relieves and refreshes our soul.  In exchange for our troubles, Jesus gives us peace.  He knows what we are made of and He understands us far better than we understand ourselves.  Jesus will take care of anything that is weighing us down.  He will help us through every situation.  

It's funny how so many of us are scared to come to God with our problems because they are the result of our bad choices.  Like He doesn't know what we did and how we got to where we are.  We have no secrets from God.  So why do we need to tell Him if He already knows?

Because when we go to God and admit our shortcomings, our sins, and our foolishness we are actually demonstrating our trust in Him to do what we cannot do - save us.  We need the blood of Jesus Christ to cover our sins and wash away their stains.  That is why we can come to Him even when we are the cause of our problems.  

What are you scared to admit to God?  

What are you holding back from Him?  

Why do you think He cannot help you?

Jesus walked on this earth as a man, He paid our debt to sin, and He made us right with God.  Jesus understands us, He gets us.   And He is the only One who can help us when we get ourselves in a pickle.  

Whatever it is you are trying to carry on your own, stop.  Stop now and just give it to God. 

Jesus will take the burden from your back and give you peace for your soul.
