4 Steps to Cast Your Cares on Godናሙና

Day 1: Recognize Your Burdens

In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus invites us to come to Him with our burdens, promising rest and relief. "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Jesus understands the weight of our burdens and offers a way out. He wants to share our load and bring peace to our souls. The first step in casting your cares on the Lord is to recognize your burdens and be willing to bring them to Jesus.

Reflection:

• Identify the burdens that are weighing you down.
• Ask the Lord to seek your heart and reveal any areas you need to yield to Him.
• Consider what it means to have an ‘easy yoke’ and ‘light burden’ in your current circumstances.

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father, I come to You today, acknowledging the weight of the burdens I’m carrying. Help me to recognize the areas in my life where I am struggling and open my heart to Your guidance. Teach me to trust in You and find rest in Your presence. I know that with You, I can face and overcome any challenge. Thank You for Your grace and mercy. In Jesus' name, Amen.
