How many a child of God trusts Him with his soul, but not with his load. Yet if God has undertaken the greater, surely He may be trusted with the less. He has born thy sins, He can surely carry thy sorrows....whatever it be - the weight of a church, the pressure of a family, the burden of other souls - thy Father hath given it thee. Give its pressure back to Him, whilst thou retainest the salutary lesson of hourly patience and faith....
"Oh for the faith to cast our load,
E'en while we pray, upon our God,
Then rise with lightened cheer"
When you cast your burden, God will take it, and will do more. He will sustain you. He will catch up your burden and you, and bear you all the day long between His shoulders.
From FB Meyer's Commentary on Psalm 55 in Our Daily Homily
