Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you. Psalm 55:22
"When our only daughter, Jody, was killed, we were in a terrible state of shock," says Denison, Iowa, farm woman Marilyn Auen. "We hadn't started harvest, and it didn't seem we could cope with the task after what had happened.
"One day I came across this Biblical promise, and I did try turning the frustration, grief and everything else I couldn't cope with over to the Lord. It was the best thing that ever happened to me, and I still take everything to Him.
"Even when it seems difficult to go ahead when you're grieving and don't understand why you need to suffer this loss and pain, somehow the Lord enables you to keep on trying.
"Our daughter was raised never to be a quitter, and she wasn't. I knew I could not quit either; I could not have her disappointed in me! God did help me so much, and I'm thankful I was able to give my burden to Him."
