Too Heavy For You!(3)

Scripture

English Standard Version Chapter 5

7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

English Standard Version Introduction

Called the “apostle of hope,” Peter’s primary message is to trust the Lord, live obediently no matter what your circumstances, and keep your hope fixed on God’s ultimate promise of deliverance. Suffering is to be expected, but it is temporary and yields great blessings for those who remain steadfast

BURDEN - DIFFICULT CONCERN

JOHN 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

2 TIMOTHY 3:12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted

1 PETER 4:12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.
