Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.

1 PETER 5:7

HOW gentle God's commands!

How kind His precepts are!

Come, cast your burdens on the Lord,

And trust His constant care.

His goodness stands approved

Down to the present day;

I'll drop my burden at His feet,

And bear a song away.

PHILIP DODDRIDGE

SHE was not accustomed in these days to meet troubles, small or great,
with the small stock of strength her mind or body could afford. She had
acquired, by long habit, the power of putting them from her until she
could take them into the presence of her Lord, and there, in secret,
commune with Him of all that was in her heart.

SARAH W. STEPHEN

The Lord calls for our burdens, would not have us wrestle with them
ourselves, but roll them over on Him. Now, the desires that are breathed
forth in prayer are, as it were, the very unloading of the heart; each
request that goes forth, carries out somewhat of the burden with it, and
lays it on God. Tell Him what are your desires, and leave them there
with Him, and so you are sure to be rid of all further disquieting care
of them.
