Huge hands
'Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you.' Psalm 55:22
God's got big hands, and He really wants you to use them! When you've got something eating away at you, that feels like it's taking over your brain, all He wants you to do is give it to Him, put it in His hands.
If you're really bothered about something, and think only you can sort it out - put it in His hands. He's even more bothered by it, and even more capable of sorting it. If you're feeling like it's too small to bother God with, but it's making you worry - there's space in His hands for it.
No matter how big or small, whether you're responsible for it or not, if it feels out of control, keeps you awake at night, is all you can think about, stops you living your life normally, takes away your joy, you're instructed to 'Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you' (1 Peter 5:7 NIV). Put it all in His hands, and then let go of it. Stop worrying about it, and pray about it instead.
The Bible says, 'Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace ...' (Philippians 4:6-7 NLT). He can handle it, and He wants to handle it - but He won't take it off you - you need to give it to Him. So what are you waiting for?
