Unpacking Our Worries With Isaiahಮಾದರಿ

Giving Our Worries to Jesus

When Isaiah shares his worries with his mom, they create a story together. In the story, Isaiah comes to an open field and sees Jesus standing on the other side. Isaiah runs toward him, and they hug. Isaiah then discovers that his worries don’t feel like heavy blocks anymore—they are tiny. Isaiah continues to tell the story:

Then Jesus picks up my worries. “You were very worried, weren’t you?” I just nod. I can hardly talk.

“Can I take care of these for you?” he asks.

I say, “Okay, you can have them.”

Just like Isaiah, when we ask Jesus to carry our worries for us, they begin to feel lighter. And Jesus wants to help us with all our worries—nothing is too big or small to bring to him. He cares about everything that is troubling our hearts.

Are there any worries you have that you feel are too big or too small to bring to Jesus? Can you pray right now and ask Jesus to help you carry them?

Prayer:

Dear Jesus, thank you for caring about everything in our lives. Today I want to ask you to help me carry this worry: __________________________________________________.
