1 Peter 5:7 - Shifting the Burden.

1 Peter 5:7 (NIV) Cast all your anxiety on 
him because he cares for you. 

1 Peter 5:7 (NLT) Give all your worries and 
cares to God, for he cares about you. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   We have the opportunity to offer 
heartfelt prayers for every person we see. We can pray 
for the attendant at the grocery store, the 
nurse in the doctor's office, the maintenance 
staff in the office building. You don't have to 
tell them of your intercessory prayer. Then 
again, I'm surprised at the welcome response from 
people when I say, "I'd like to pray for you. Do 
you have any particular needs?" 
   Not surprisingly, when we seek to bless 
others through prayer, we are blessed. The act of 
praying for others has a boomerang effect. It allows 
us to shift the burden we carry for others to 
the shoulders of God. He invites us to cast all 
our cares upon him (1 Peter 5:7). Impossible 
burdens are made bearable because we pray about 
them. Don't fret about politicians. Pray for them. 
Don't grow angry at the condition of the church. 
Pray for her. Don't let the  
difficulties of life suck you under. Give 
them to God before they get to you. 
   Rather than assuming you can do nothing 
to help others, assume the posture of prayer.
