Counsel #3 — Jesus, The Burden Bearer

Picture: Counsel #3 — Jesus, The Burden BearerCMH 21.1

You are not alone! Jesus never intended for you to struggle along by yourself, burdened with anxiety and fear. He invites us to let Him be our burden bearer, to walk the dark valleys of life with us. It is not His will that we are weighed down with fear, worry and tension. All heaven is interested in our welfare, and we can lay all our burdens right at the feet of the one who was nailed to the cross for us.^{[18]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uMjSptB4qg&list=PLR1KLB2-hnHyXFEL01WoPMdbCfm4rOY3p&index=13&ab_channel=FountainviewAcademy}CMH 21.2
