Today, I decided to bring all my burdens to Jesus.

The stress I felt thinking about all the work I have to do, concerns about relationships, questions about my future — everything that was bothering me, I gave to the LORD.

I told Jesus what was in my heart and mind. I imagined placing all of my problems in His nail-scarred hands.

I prayed, asking Him to direct my thoughts and actions.

Then I intentionally waited for His leading.

And then it happened — I felt the worry and stress melt away like snow in springtime. In the space of a few moments, all the anxiety I had carried around with me for weeks was gone. Jesus took it from me.

When I made up my mind to rest in Jesus, I felt a special peace from above. That peace continues…

I feel different while going about my day. I feel more at peace and more confident. When Jesus bears my burdens, everything about the day is better.
