Lay it down!

Psalms 55:22 Cast thy burden upon Yahweh, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
One of my favorite heroes of the faith is Hudson Taylor. For those who are unfamiliar with Hudson Taylor, he led a great awakening in China which continues on till this day.
At one point during his ministry, Hudson Taylor was deeply distressed by many burdens. As he prayed for strength to carry on, he came across Psalm 55:22 -- "Cast your burden on Yahweh, and He shall sustain thee."
Suddenly this truth entered into his heart and he sprung to his feet and cried, "This fear-allaying truth has evaded me too long! I see it all now. If we are obeying the Lord and still run into difficulty, the heavy responsibility rests with HIM, not with us!" Then he prayed, "Lord, you shall all the burden! At your bidding I will go forward, leaving the results with You!"
With the burden lifted off his shoulder, Hudson Taylor went on to establish a great work in China.
Are you burdened today? Whatever your burden -- cast it upon Yahweh -- and allow His peace to overflow your life! There is so much work to be done!
