Being Sustained

How do you hold up under pressure? How do you keep going when you are faced with difficulties and obstacles in your life?
When we are heavily burdened, it can be challenging to hold up under the pressure. It can be overwhelming to push forward when faced with challenges and resistance.
The Psalmist writes, “Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.” (Psalm 55:22 ESV).
When we cannot hold up under the weight of our burdens, we need to place them upon the shoulders of God who can bear the load.
When we cannot sustain our course forward, we must allow God to sustain us along the way and to help us navigate our way forward.
May we experience a lighter load as we cast our burdens upon the Lord, and may we be sustained and secure in God’s provision for our lives as we trust in Him.
A Collect for Grace: “O Lord, our heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, you have brought us safely to the beginning of this day: Defend us by your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin nor run into any danger; and that, guided by your Spirit, we may do what is righteous in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
