“Cast your cares on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken” (Psalm 55:22, NIV).
In high school, I was the grocery shopping queen. By queen, I mean I would spend hours clipping coupons, printing them out, organizing them, and making sure my family got the best deals. Once we got home, I continued my ambitions by carrying as many grocery bags as I could at once. Always, instead of making two trips, I’d pile more onto my arms and fingers until my hands began to ache and the bags would inevitably tear.
In life, many of us live this way emotionally and spiritually. We don’t mean to, but we carry the stress, added responsibilities, disappointments, fears, grief, and expectations because we think we have to be strong. The reality is, God never asked us to hold it all together. Rather, He invites us to hand our burdens to Him.
David wrote Psalm 55 in a period of deep distress. Not just a bad day or week, but an incredibly testing season. He faced painful betrayal, pressure, and fear. Even earlier in this chapter, he says his heart is in anguish, and he wishes he could flee and hide from his troubles. But right when things get bad, he gives us this advice: “Cast your cares on the Lord.” And if he could do that from within the pit, so can we.
