He Shall Sustain You

"Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved." -Psalm 55:22 NKJV

To "cast" is the word "shalak" in the Hebrew and it means "to throw, cast, hurl, fling". When is the last time you have done that? Are you burdened? Have you gotten into the presence of God and "threw" it on Him? He wants you to. He desires you come to Him and with every ounce of your focus and attention...pray. 

Do you flippantly pray? Then you are probably burdened. Do you only whine and complain in prayer...with an ungrateful heart? Then you are probably overwhelmed. Are your prayers scattered and distracted? Then you are probably still anxious and worried about many things. 

Prayerlessness is a symptom of pride. Pride says you can live your day in your own strength and carry all the burdens that it comes with. A humble heart casts the burdens and cares of this life on the Lord. It is His to hold. When you learn how to cast your cares on the Lord in prayer, you will be sustained.
