Alright, so I've finally given something to God that I've been holding onto and am really beginning to trust Him with it. Or am I? Maybe I'm just past caring. Maybe I'm so tired of caring too much that I've decided to not care at all and have called it by the noble title "Trusting God". And it just all comes back to fullness of me instead of fullness of joy.
Well, laying my burden down is laying it down, it matters little why. The important thing is to lay it down and spend my "worry" time instead "learning of Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:29) Jesus will give me rest from my burdens and worries, especially the more I learn of Him and what burdens He bore for me. Read Isaiah 53 and think of them, those burdens of His. Rest in the completion of them for you. And remember that when you lay your burdens down, He takes them up.
I bless the Christ of God; I rest on love divine:
and with unfaltering lip and heart, I call this Savior mine.
His cross dispels each doubt; I bury in his tomb
each thought of unbelief and fear, each lingering shade of gloom.
from "Not What My Hands Have Done"
