In 1 Peter 5:7 it says, "Cast your cares on Jesus for He cares for you." What a glorious verse that is, to know that, as Christians, we can walk in the unclouded sunlight! Yet, I have found I struggle with handing my cares over to Jesus. Many times I go on my knees to surrender it to Him, only to finish my prayer; rise, and take my up my burden all over again.
D.L. Moody once said something quite poignant, and I think it rings true with many of us. Far too often, he said, we come to church with our bundle of burdens, and drop them at the end of the pew. We sing, rejoice, praise, and forget our cares. But once the benediction is spoken, we leave and pick up our bundle of burdens once again.
Christ is the sin-bearer, but He is also the burden-bearer. If we humble ourselves before Him, He shall take them.
What hinders us from giving our anxieties to Jesus?
