You may have had a similar experience to this one. A friend asks you how you’re doing. At first, that friend seems interested in your answer. As you begin to share the burdens of your heart, you realize they aren’t listening and don’t appear to be interested in your answer. They’re just being polite. Most people have so many burdens that they don’t know what to do with any more. However, our heavenly Father reminds us to cast all our anxieties on him because he will sustain us (1 Peter 5:7). We can share our cares on the Lord because he will sustain us (Psalm 55:22). We can joyously praise our Savior because he daily bears our burdens (Psalm 68:19).
Father, I have been blessed in so many ways. Thank you! Dear Father, I do have some friends who carry heavy burdens. I love them, and I ask you to help me be a blessing to them as you work in their lives to lift their burdens. As I place their names before you now, please strengthen them, lift their burdens from them, heal what is broken, and strengthen their faith. (Please share your burdens and concerns for these friends with the Lord now in this period of silence.) Thank you, Father, for listening to my requests for these friends and loved ones weighed down by the burdens of life. They need to know that you care for them and will lift these burdens from them. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
At BCOM, we believe that when love leads, lives change. We are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus—bringing light to dark places, lifting the broken, and speaking life into every soul we meet. No matter where you are on your journey, there is a place for you here. Let’s walk in faith, serve with purpose, and change the world—together.
