Conclusion and Application
*“Peace of heart does not come from denying that there is trouble but comes from rolling your troubles onto God. By faith you have the right to call on the One who is your brother, the Son of Man who was also the Son of God. And if He’s going to look after you, why should you worry at all. — A. W. Tozer
“It does not matter how heavy troubles are if you can cast them on the Lord. The heavier, so much the better, for the more you have gotten rid of, the more there is laid on the rock.” — C. H. Spurgeon
“If a case is too small to be turned into a prayer it is too small to be made into a burden.” — Corrie ten Boom*
