Five Burdens God Promises to Carry

Taken from John Piper's talk at Missions at the Main Hall (see previous post).  It was a good word.  Here are the five burdens God promises to carry:

• Our sins: Isaiah 53:11, I Peter 2:24
• Our anxieties: I Peter 5:7

Anxiety that we won't have what we need Phil. 4:19
Anxiety that we will be useless in ministry I Cor. 15:58
Anxiety that we are too weak II Cor. 12:9
Anxiety about decisions Psalm 32:8
Anxiety about opponents or adversaries Rom 8:33
Anxiety about affliction Psalm 34:19
Anxiety about aging Isaiah 46:4
Anxiety about dying Rom 14:7-9
Anxiety that we will not persevere Phil 1:6

• Our Burdens: Psalm 55:22
• The Cause of Justice for Me: I Peter 2:23
• You: Isaiah 46:3-4, 10
