"God's a safe-house for the battered, a sanctuary during hard times." Psalm 9:9 The Message
"Pile your troubles on God's shoulders- He'll carry your load, he'll help you out." Psalm 55:22 The Message
Today, I am remembering many times in my life when I felt beaten down beyond rescue. I am here today, to say: GOD is faithful! I piled my burdens upon HIS shoulders and indeed HE carried my load. The journey was found to be most difficult, however, HE saw me through. I am here today, because I received strength, comfort, love, and guidance from my Heavenly Father.
Have you piled your burdens on GODS shoulders?
Continuing to find comfort,
Andrea

Amen my sister....ME TOO! Thank you Lord for being our Strong Tower...our Ever Present Help in time on Need!
He WILL carry our burdens! AMEN!!!
I always find that whenever I give my troubles, hurts or burdens to the Lord, that he carries them for me, and the weight of them are lifted from my shoulders. He is always there to help...all we need to do is ask in his name for his help in these matters..
God is such a wonderful and caring God!!
Have a great day and weekend too!
Blessings,

Yes I have given my troubles to God. I just wish I had started doing that years earlier. My God is an awesome God.
I'm trying to. It's been a bad day, but I keep feeling His love and I know that it will be okay.
I'm so glad we have a Refuge where we feel so safe from life's storms. That's an awesome photo! Have a great weekend sister and yes, I can see again :) with my new specs!
God bless.
Thank goodness He is our refuge and never changes. Sometimes the burdens are too much to carry and I am always amazed how He carries them when I actually give it to Him. Love it.
God is carrying me right now.
Isn't it so cool that God helps us to see beyond our burdens and grasp the blessings of joy in our lives.
Ya'll have a fabulously blessed weekend!!!

Andrea, I needed your encouraging voice this morning! Each time I visit you, I sense a very positive, glowing love for Christ and life itself! You are a powerful testimony!
Yes, I have piled many burdens on the shoulders of God! For me, it is a learning process, one that has been ongoing my entire life. It is so beautiful to look back and see how he has carried me. Praise His name!
Thank you for asking about placing a link to my blog! I appreciate it so much, and no, I do not mind at all! May it bring God glory!
Stay warm and cozy by the fire!

Thank you for reminding me that God is able to carry my burdens much better than I!
I really like the Message translation of the verses.
Have a blessed weekend!
I love your words....very healing. And I like the translation....'pile your troubles...' And that picture is the absolute best. Hugs to you....Sarah
When He leads you to it, He WILL bring you through it!

Yes, I couldn't endure the daily twistings and turnings if I didn't go to Him with all.
I praise God for His faithfulness and I truly believe in His comfort all around me and my family at this difficult time. We're not near the finish line yet, but we're learning valuable spiritual lessons. Thank you for your loving prayers.
Yes! Yes!! Going through it now! He is good!
YES! THanks goodness he is glad to take our burdens! Can you imagine life without that!? NEither can I :)
Awesome verses. Makes me think of one of my favorites too from 1 peter 5:7...cast all your cares upon Him for He cares for you! I am so glad He does.
There are times when He is caring us and we don't even know it. God is Good!
love and hugs~Tammy
Aren't we , as God's precious children, so blessed to know He is always ready to carry our load - whether its cares, or worries - or just plain old sin! Our God is the best Friend we could ever have!
You have blessed me with this powerful display and reminder of our Abba tonight, as He shelters us in the powerful winter storms of the soul.
Oh, yes! Thank you for your beautifully encouraging post, Andrea!
Amen, sweet sis!
I just love that beautiful splash of red in all that snow! It reminds me of His glory. It just won't be ignored, will it?
Thanks for this reminder. I'm laying them all down.
Blessings, Andrea.
It is so good to know that we are not alone, He knows our every trouble, and is always there. Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus!
Hi Andrea,
He has been faithful to me, too. :)
Hugs,
Tammy
Totally an awesome reminder dear one! Thank you for this! Blessings!
God is so good, isn't He?
You have an award at my blog. Check it out when you have time.
Amen! God is faithful.
May His blessings continue to fill your life.
Amen!!! That is a beautiful photo! The snow looks so wonderful!!
Thank You ever so much for your kind words on my 'fitting in' post!! :)
This blog post is so timely. In Him alone do we find lasting comfort. Underneath us are His everlasting arms!
I love the picture you posted with your words.
Praying for you in the third snowstorm hitting Virginia and the Carolinas and neighboring states.
God is your comfort in the midst of the storm.
Love

I am with you on this. It IS because of Jesus that I have not given up in many ways. I always find myself in I. Peter 5:7. I know that Jesus cares for me. In thee trying times, I have to remember that and take it to heart. This post was right on time for me and I am sure for many others. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful photo, beautiful words, Andrea... I loved what you wrote here. Without His shoulders bearing me up I would not have made it.
There's a favorite scripture of mine in Deuteronomy that talks of resting between His shoulders.
Thanks for stopping by the blog and your words left for me there. I always enjoy your visits!
That you have found faith and comfort after your own trials brings immense joy and relief to those of us blessed to visit your blog.
You are always so supportive and it is always so appreciated.
Peace and serenity, my sweet friend,
~Jo
Beautiful. He is using you in powerful ways as a result of your survival and trust in Him through the hard times.
Love you!
Mary

Hi Andrea,
I am honored that you would add me as a link among so many amazing blogs out there.
And yes, I need His shoulders...and at times I need someone to carry me there too...
Keep cozy and warm!

Your post is so right on - He wants us to give Him our burdens... our worries.. He loves us and is so very faithful.
