• Lay Those Burdens Down

  

  Do you ever feel like this poor donkey?  More burdens then you can carry?

  Usually the things that burden us down are regrets from the past or fear of the future. 

  Let's lighten our loads by choosing to believe God's word. 

  Come to me all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  (Matt 11:28)

  To the burdens of the past,

  Philippians 3:13 says:  But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

  Isaiah 43:18 tells us to, Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!

  To the burdens of the future, 

  Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

  Lay those burdens down.
