Breaking Free From Our Burdens

Elder Andrea Morgan Eason

Many people read self-help books when they feel overly burdened.  But the Word of God informs us of ways we can relieve and release ourselves of things that weigh us down.  Here are some effective strategies we can use to break free from our burdens:

  1. Throw your burdens on Jesus
  2. Ask Him for comfort and compassion for you and your family
  3. Fix your thoughts on what is true, honorable, right, lovely, and admirable.
  4. Set boundaries around self-care
  5. Let Go and Let God

 

But you O Lord are shield around my glory, who holds my head high.  Thank you for being my protector and defender.  There are many days my head is down because I am so burdened. But you are the lifter of my head.  You help me look up and beyond my worries and when I cried you answered. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for helping me break free from my burdens, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
