How to let God handle your burden Burdens come in different shapes and forms. Some we can handle, and some we can’t, no matter how hard we try. When faced with such massive mountains, it can be quite challenging to keep going. I couldn’t go to School I remember back in my senior high school year, I was home for almost a year because my mum couldn’t pay my school fees. It was very challenging for me both emotionally and in my academic journey. I was the best in my class, but while everyone else was in school, I was home. Being the best student was not enough to keep me in school. I decided to trust God with this because it had become a burden to me. I gave it all over to Him and told Him, “Well, if you can’t do anything about it, then there is no hope for me” Somehow, it seemed He just flooded me with peace during this time.

My mum paid the school fees completely and I resumed school. Furthermore, as if adding a bonus, I received a full scholarship that would carry me until graduation. It was like a dream, but I knew it was a miracle and God was responsible.

They can extend to things and people you love. For example, the burden in a person’s heart can affect their relationships with other people and their attitude towards life. I believe you can relate with what I’m talking about. You see, nowhere in the scripture did God say life itself was burden-free.
