The young woman sat in a chair, staring at the blank wall in front of her. She had been sitting there for hours, unmoving. She was tired. She was exhausted. She was overwhelmed.
She had been working two jobs to make ends meet, and she was barely keeping her head above water. She was stressed out and anxious, and she felt like she was about to break.
She had tried to talk to her friends and family about how she was feeling, but they didn’t seem to understand. They told her to just “tough it out” and “keep her head down.” But it was hard to keep going when she felt like she was carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.
One day, she was walking home from work when she saw a sign for a church. She had never been to church before, but she felt drawn to it. She went inside and sat down in the back.
The pastor was preaching about the importance of faith. He talked about how God is always there for us, even when we feel like we’re all alone. He said that God is our burden bearer, and that He will help us to carry our burdens.
The young woman was touched by the pastor’s words. She had never thought of God in that way before. She had always thought of God as someone who was far away and uncaring. But the pastor’s words made her realize that God is actually very close to us, and that He cares about us deeply.
The young woman left the church feeling a sense of peace. She knew that she wasn’t alone, and that God was there for her. She also knew that she could trust God to help her to carry her burdens.
The next day, the young woman went back to work. She was still tired and stressed out, but she felt a sense of hope. She knew that God was with her, and that He would help her to get through whatever challenges she faced.
The young woman continued to go to church every week. She learned more about God and His love for her. She also learned how to pray and how to trust God.
Over time, the young woman’s burdens began to feel lighter. She still had challenges, but she knew that God was with her and that He would help her to overcome them.
The young woman is now a strong and confident woman. She is no longer afraid of her challenges. She knows that God is her burden bearer, and that He will help her to carry her burdens.
One day, the young woman was feeling particularly overwhelmed. She had just been laid off from her job, and she didn’t know how she was going to pay her bills. She felt like she was about to give up.
But then she remembered the words of the pastor, “God carries your burdens every day.” She took a deep breath and prayed. “God, I can’t do this on my own. Please help me.”
Suddenly, she felt a sense of peace. She knew that God was with her, and that He would help her. She got up and started to look for a new job. She didn’t know how she was going to find a job, but she knew that God would help her.
A few days later, the young woman got a call from a recruiter. She had an interview the next day, and she got the job! She was so grateful to God for helping her. She knew that she couldn’t have done it on her own.
The young woman continued to trust in God, and He continued to help her. She got a raise at her new job, and she was able to pay off her bills. She also started volunteering at a local church, and she found a new sense of purpose in her life.
The young woman’s story is a reminder that God is always with us, and that He will help us to carry our burdens. We don’t have to go through life alone. We can trust God to help us, and He will never let us down.
“Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.”
Psalm 68:19
