Welcome to the In-Dutch podcast with Charles Stanley for Friday, May 26.

God never intended for you to be weighed down by your problems.

Instead, He offers to sustain you when burdens seem unbearable.

Well, all of us have those times in our life and we feel burdened down.

We all have those times in life and we feel like things will be hopeless or helpless or we feel discouraged and disillusioned maybe.

Where do you turn when you have those feelings?

Well, I want to tell you my friends, you don't have to give up.

You don't have to quit. You don't have to get on drugs. You don't have to get on alcohol. You don't have to get on some sexual affair.

Listen, God has a very clear, biblical, workable, practical, sufficient, adequate, listen, answer to that need, to that burden, no matter what it is.

And that's what I want us to talk about in this passage which He gives us so clearly.

So to Matthew chapter 11, look if He will beginning in verse 28.

He says, Come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden, that is tired, burdened down, and I will give you rest.

When He says come to me, I want you to notice the four things in this passage.

First of all, here's an invitation. He says, I want you to come to me.

Here's Jesus, the living son of God, the sovereign God of this universe.

Now seated the father's right hand and He says, all power has been given to be in heaven and earth.

So we know that whatever burden you and I carry, He is able to deal with it.

Because the Bible asks a couple times, is there anything too hard for God?

How can anything be too hard for God who is sovereignly in control of every single, solitary thing?

Who is omniscient knowing all things? I'm the present, all things are in His presence.

And He has the power to handle every circumstance of life.

And what is He saying to us? Come to me.
