Welcome to this weekend's Intouch Podcast with Tarl Stanley.

Does anxiety press on you like a heavyweight?

Learn how to let Christ replace it with a sense of calm confidence.

Stress relief begins with letting God handle your burdens.

Why is it that some people go through difficulty, hardship, pain, care, heavy burdens in their life?

And somehow they just keep on smiling, shoulders are up, smiling their face,

joy in their heart, not complaining, not moaning and groaning about the life that they have to live.

On the other hand, here's someone who has less challenges in life, and it just looks like they can't handle it.

They simply say, I just don't think I can handle much more.

Well, more than likely they're handling something God never intended for them to handle.

And ask yourself the question, when you have burdens that come into your life, how do you handle them?

Do you handle them correctly, biblically, according to God's word?

Or do you find yourself just complaining and trying to escape them in some fashion?

How are we to handle the burdens of our life?

And I want you to turn if you will to Matthew chapter 11 and look at three verses here.

Here is God's answer, very crystal clear answer to how you and I are to handle the burdens in our life.

And if you'll remember this passage, he's been talking to some folks and telling him about God's judgment, the cities and so forth.

And what's happening? And then he comes down to verse 28 and hears what he says.

Listen carefully.

Come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me from gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
