The righteousness of God is revealed through faith in Jesus Christ, to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…Romans 3:22
Perhaps the heaviest burden we try to carry is the burden of mistakes and failures. What do you do with your failures?
Even if you’ve fallen, even if you’ve failed, even if everyone else has rejected you, Christ will not turn away from you.
Psalm 68:19 says, “Praise the Lord, God our Savior, who helps us every day.” Every day!
Christ came first and foremost to those who have not hope. He goes to those no one else would go to and says, “I’ll give you eternity!”
Only you can surrender your concerns to the Father. No one else can take those away and give them to God.
What better way to start the day than by laying your cares at Jesus’ feet?

Call to me in times of trouble. I will save you, and you will honor me. Psalm 50:15
Want to worry less? Then pray more! Rather than look forward in fear—in worry—look to God. Jesus taught people that it was necessary for them to pray consistently and never quit. Paul told believers, “Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.” James said, “Are any among you suffering? Keep on praying about it!” Regarding prayer, the Bible never blushes. Rather than worry about anything, “pray about everything!” Everything? Diaper changes and dates? Business meetings and stopped up bathtubs? Schedules and flight delays? Procrastinations and prognostications? Really? Pray about everything! ~ Both by Max Lucado
