When troubled by any of this life's inevitable problems, Christians are instructed to relinquish them to God ...
Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken. Psalm 55:22
To cast your burden upon the Lord simply means to transfer it from your hand to His. It is the prayerful decision to release not only the root cause of one's anxiety ... but the anxiety itself.
For most of us, that process is 'easier said, than done'; but God wants to be trusted with any and all issues that weigh heavily on the soul.
Scripture can be a powerful tool when the mind struggles with doubt and uncertainty ...
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27
These promises will bridge the gap between the angst you feel and what you know to be true about the Father's love.
Pilgrim, God desires that you give your burden to Him ... don't leave His presence with it still on your back.
