Possess the Promise

Matthew 11:30 “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
There was a reason we were told by God to cast all of our cares on him. Let’s face it! Our bodies are not designed to carry burdens. The Lord desires for us to rest in him. This explains why he says to keep our minds on him so that we can stay in perfect peace. All of our focus should go on the problem solver not on our problems. The fact of the matter is God is bigger than any problem we could ever face in life. When our minds are stayed on Christ all hell can break lose around us and we will not be moved. Instead we will be firmly rooted and planted in hope and faith in almighty God. Releasing our burdens is easier said than done. We feel we have control and that we can take matters into our own hands. However, trying to figure things out on our own will only cause’s dis-ease to our bodies as we face stress, anxiety, and depression. Have you ever paid attention to the symptoms of mental disorders? Racing thoughts worry or fear, sleeplessness, and anxiousness. The bible says that the battle takes place in the arena of the mind so we must take every thought captive that exalts itself against the word of God. Furthermore, the lord tells us to be anxious for nothing but to make our request known to him through prayer and supplication. Subsequently, we are to wait on him to bring it to past.
