Casting Your Burdens

Psalm 55:22

Cast thy burden upon our Heavenly Father,
He shall sustain thee so you can go farther;
He'll not suffer the righteous to be moved,
Only when it's proper for being behooved;
A human mind only stands so much weight,
No relief valve for to turn to alleviate;
One mental burden piled up top of another,
Possible so many that it makes you smother;
Unless there's a way for relief is obtained,
A nervous breakdown can if not maintained;
But, these burdens you don't have to bear,
Just take it to our Lord thy God in prayer;
Let Him know what so much is troubling you,
Explain some of the details of your issue;
Ask His help to for getting a peace of mind,
Get on with your life leave troubles behind;
He's perfectly willing to carry and consume,
In taking away all the stress and the gloom;
All He does ask from you for this in return,
Accept the cross and sacrifice as a concern.
