Give all your worries to him, because he cares about you.
1 Peter 5:7 (NCV)
 
God has a great race for you to run. Under his care you will go where you've never been and serve in ways you've never dreamed.  But you have to drop some stuff.  How can you share grace if you are full of guilt?  How can you offer comfort if you are disheartened?  How can you lift someone else's load if your arms are full with your own?
 
For the sake of those you love, travel light.
For the sake of the God you serve, travel light.
For the sake of your own joy, travel light.
 
There are certain weights in you life you simply cannot carry.  Your Lord is asking you to set them down and trust him.
