📖 Scripture:
“Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” — Psalm 55:22 (KJV)
Devotional:
Psalm 55:22 begins with an invitation.
“Cast thy burden upon the Lord…”
This verse reminds us that God never intended for us to carry everything alone. Burdens are heavy by nature — worries, responsibilities, grief, unanswered questions. When we hold them too long, they weigh on our hearts and cloud our peace.
To cast something is not to place it gently, but to release it with intention. It is an act of trust that says, “This is too much for me, but not too much for You.”
God does not merely receive our burdens — He sustains us. He supports us when strength feels thin. He steadies us when life feels uncertain. This verse assures us that while circumstances may shift, God’s sustaining hand does not.
When we place our burdens in His care, we are not weakened — we are anchored.
Reflection:
What burdens have you been carrying that God is asking you to release tonight?
What might change if you trusted God to sustain you instead of striving to hold everything together?
Daily Wisdom Insight:
Peace grows when we choose to place our burdens in God’s hands rather than carrying them alone.
Practical Application:
Take a quiet moment tonight and name what weighs on your heart.
Then speak this declaration:
“Lord, I cast my burden upon You.
You will sustain me, and I will not be moved.”
Release it intentionally.
Breathe deeply.
Allow God’s strength to meet you where yours ends.
Prayer:
Father,
Tonight I release what I have been carrying alone.
You see every burden resting on my heart.
You know the weight I cannot explain.
I cast my cares upon You,
trusting that You will sustain me.
When I feel unsteady, anchor me in Your strength.
When fear tries to take hold, remind me that I am not alone.
Teach me to trust You more deeply,
to release control,
and to rest in Your faithful care.
I receive Your peace,
Your support,
and Your sustaining grace.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
