Matthew writes to God’s people and walks them on a journey that will take them from where they are to be Disciple Makers. This is 25 of 27 devotional plans walking us through the book of Matthew.  In this portion, Jesus faces the first of the challenges of the day on the cross.

Turn Your Cares into Prayers is based on Psalm 55, a deeply moving and honest psalm of lament, where David unburdens his soul to the LORD. As you meditate on this psalm, may you encounter the Lord Jesus, the Burden-Bearer, and cast your burdens on him because he understands you more fully than anyone else ever could. Your shoulders are not strong enough, but his are. He doesn’t get tired or weary. Ever.
