Sharing Burdens

1 Samuel 19:1-3; Matthew 11:28-30

Jonathan saw that David needed protection from his father Saul. He advised David to hide so Saul would not be able to find and kill him. Jonathan took a share of David’s burden. Jesus offers to share our burdens with him in the same way Jonathan shared David’s burdens. The Holy Spirit brings each other into our lives so that we have help in our own troubles.

1. What burdens are troubling you right now? What do you need to give to God so that he can help you?

2. Is there a person in your life the Holy Spirit is nudging you to help? How can you help to take on their burdens

Challenge: Find a person who you can share each other’s burdens with. Schedule a time with him/her to share these concerns and pray about them.
