Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. - 1 Peter 5:7

Alissa found her two-year-old brother, Liam, trying to lift a barbell over his head. What a challenge for a toddler! Even using all his strength, little Liam couldn’t pick it up.

Alissa is eight and a strong athlete, so she offered to help. Together they lifted that four-pound weight toward the ceiling. What was so tough for Liam was easy for Alissa!

Just as Liam needed Alissa’s help, we need Someone bigger and stronger than we are to carry our problems too. The Bible tells us, “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you” (1 Peter 5:7). That’s an incredible promise, isn’t it? Since Jesus is the King of the universe, He has the power to carry our problems in His strong arms.

So, are you tired? Anxious? Lonely? Whatever you’re struggling with today, Jesus wants you to hand it over to Him. He can carry your problems—and you too!
