“Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee.”
A burden too heavy to carry alone becomes something that can be entrusted elsewhere, making support rather than self-sufficiency the central response to distress.
Source note: Psalm 55:22, King James Version; the verse turns from conflict and betrayal toward entrusting one’s burden to God for sustaining help.
