“Cast your burden on the LORD, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.”
—Psalm 55:22
Scripture exhorts us to commit our ways unto the Lord, to cast all our burdens and cares upon Him, and to be anxious for nothing as we struggle against the world, the flesh, and the Devil in this life. To commit our way unto the Lord means we humbly follow where He leads being confident that His way is one of wisdom and everlasting love in Christ. If we could determine our own way through this world, we would always be careful to avoid adversity, sickness, and trials. Yet, the Lord often leads His children in ways of darkness and distress, anguish and agony. Therefore, we need constant sanctifying grace to commit our way to the Lord. How blessed believers are to have the continual sanctifying grace of the Holy Spirit as He daily transforms our minds by His Word and brings us into humble submission to pray in accordance with the revealed will of God, which is His Word. “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us” (1 John 5:14).
