0413 重擔不堪負荷，怎麼辦？
你要把你的重擔卸給耶和華…《詩篇 55:22》
我們必須認識到我們正確承擔的負擔和錯誤負擔之間的區別，我們永遠不應該背負罪或懷疑的負擔，但有些負擔是神卻放在我們身上的，祂並不打算卸下這些重擔。神希望我們將這些重擔轉回給祂——實際上就是「拋擲你的重擔」，那是祂已經給你的，「到耶和華身上」。如果我們開始事奉神並做祂的工，但卻與祂失去接觸，我們感受到的責任感會是壓倒性和令人挫敗的。但只要我們將神放在我們身上的負擔轉回去給神，祂就會消除那種巨大的責任感，取而代之的是對祂自己和祂臨在的認識和理解。
許多僕人帶着極大的勇氣和正確的動機開始事奉神，但由於與耶穌基督沒有親密的相交，他們很快就被打敗了。他們不知道如何處理自己的負擔，這產生出他們生活中的疲憊。其他人會看到這一點並說：「一個有如此偉大開始的事情，何竟以如此悲哀結局告終！」
「把你的重擔卸給耶和華」，你一直在承受這一切，但你需要刻意地把這些放在神的肩膀上， 「政權必擔在他的肩頭上」（以賽亞書 9:6）。將神加給你的任何重擔都交託給祂，不要只是把它扔到一邊，而要把它交給祂，並把你自己連它一起交託。你會發現你的負擔因有了同伴的感覺而變輕了；但你永遠不應該試圖將自己與你的負擔分開。

0413 What To Do When Your Burden Is Overwhelming
Cast your burden on the Lord… —Psalm 55:22
We must recognize the difference between burdens that are right for us to bear and burdens that are wrong. We should never bear the burdens of sin or doubt, but there are some burdens placed on us by God which He does not intend to lift off. God wants us to roll them back on Him— to literally “cast your burden,” which He has given you, “on the Lord….” If we set out to serve God and do His work but get out of touch with Him, the sense of responsibility we feel will be overwhelming and defeating. But if we will only roll back on God the burdens He has placed on us, He will take away that immense feeling of responsibility, replacing it with an awareness and understanding of Himself and His presence.
Many servants set out to serve God with great courage and with the right motives. But with no intimate fellowship with Jesus Christ, they are soon defeated. They do not know what to do with their burden, and it produces weariness in their lives. Others will see this and say, “What a sad end to something that had such a great beginning!”
“Cast your burden on the Lord….” You have been bearing it all, but you need to deliberately place one end on God’s shoulder. “…the government will be upon His shoulder” (Isaiah 9:6). Commit to God whatever burden He has placed on you. Don’t just cast it aside, but put it over onto Him and place yourself there with it. You will see that your burden is then lightened by the sense of companionship. But you should never try to separate yourself from your burden.
