In both the Old and New Testaments saints are made aware that we are not expected to go through life alone. The Bible teaches "Cast your burdens on the Lord " in one place. In yet another it writes " Cast your cares upon him, because he cares for you." In still another we record Jesus as saying "Come unto me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. " The idea is not to run from responsibility, but to yoke with Christ so that he can bear the greatest burden and teach you too how to carry your load. The Bible says "The battle is the Lords" yet we do expect to join the battle, the army of God.
Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, let us not try to live the spiritual life in the flesh.
Instead, by your spirit, give us spiritual rest so that we do not fall to the temptation of the Evil One. In Jesus name we pray Amen.
