Give our burdens to God,

There are times in our lives, when we pray and ask God to take the burdens that are weighing us down off our shoulders and lay it at the foot of the cross. Because thats what it tells us to do in Matthew 11:25-3025 ​at that ​1​ time Jesus said, “I praise You, ​b​Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that ​c​You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants.

26 “Yes, ​ father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.

27 “​All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father ​except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

28 “​Come to Me, all ​who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.

29 “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Though how many times, in our lives, do we do that, and the next morning we are thinking about the same thing, we just supposedly gave to God the night before. How many times in His word, does he say do not be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and petition, present your requests to God, and the peace of God will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. I have heard from other people, though haven't applied it to my life, and that is there is an aspect of life, that we just have to wait and give it to God, and allow him to give to us when it is his time. It doesn't mean we can't look around, and speak to people, and wonder if they are the ones that can fulfill that aspect of our lives, God doesn't say sit on your hands and I will bring you your future husband/wife. But in my own life, I wonder sometimes, because we are human if someone will love me, for me. Yes we need to be attractive to the outside but we also need to know what that person has on the inside. I just need to give this aspect of my life to God, say God I give it to you I am going to allow your will to be done in this area of my life, one of many I have to give you everyday, to allow your peace to overcome my life. God I give it to you.
