My Picture of God. Jesus taking my burden:
Here I am in this world. I have struggles and burdens and there
are things I don’t understand. Then I think of God and take my
cares and burdens to Him in prayer. Then I try
to picture God and Jesus taking my big burden
and sorting through it.
I try to see Him taking my hurts and wounds
and putting ointment and healing oil on them
and wrapping it in His bandage of healing love
and care. Then He goes through my burdens
one by one and puts them in the place they
belong. He comforts me and tells me that if I
keep brining my cares to Him and if I keep
trusting Him, He will work things out in my life
even better than I can imagine.
He will provide the family the love, the care
and the support I need. He assures me that He is
taking care of my family and friends and will allow me to have
contact and do enjoyable things with my friends.
I picture myself sitting in Jesus’ lap and He is assuring me that
He love and cares. He takes me like I would want a Dad to do
for me. He fills the need of security and will allow a Father
image to provide the same thing for me. He gives me peace and
quietness in my soul in the times of trial. He tells me never to
give up, but to give all to Him and to trust in
His love and care. He promises never to leave
me alone.
This is a very peaceful assuring thought. I feel
God gave this to me so that I know that He
understands and sees everything. Give God all
honor, glory and praise for His precious Word
and for his promises.

1 Peter 5:6-7 says to
Humble yourselves
therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he
may exalt you in due time: Casting all your
care upon him; for he careth for you.
Why is it that we can confidently cast all of our
care upon the Lord? It’s because we know that He cares for us.
“He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all,
how shall he not with him also freely give us all
things?” (Romans 8:32).

Do you struggle with lust or other
sins and addictions?
To Kill a Lion
, written by
Bruce
Lengeman,
is
designed to help men find
the roots of their sexual
addiction. The theme is,
“Men cry out, I know it is
wrong, but why can’t I
stop!” The book is for both
counselors and strugglers.
To Kill a Lion
will help men understand their
own sexuality and what makes it operate “out
of alignment” with God’s design. You’ll learn
why it is healthy to be sexual as a man, but in a
pure and Godly way. Though this book was
not written for women, many are reading it and
getting understanding of things they never
knew about sexuality.

mail a check to “The Amish Voice,
PO Box 128, Savannah, OH 44874. The
