Psalm 13:8 "Expect your theological boxes to explode, to lose all false hope in what My Love will provide in this life. We've built these thoughts that life should happen a certain way. And what happens when it doesn't? May we be shaken and stirred to find this new way of thinking. The abandoned life to Christ. Because He is God and we are not."
Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be shaken. Psalm 55:22. But as for me, I will trust in You. Psalm 55:23. Cast your burden on to the Lord. In the Hebrew, it means the "lot you were assigned" by God Himself. Some say it is David's words but the meaning of burden in the Hebrew is "gift." Even the cup of sorrow is a gift. Cast it on Him and He will never allow you to be moved more than you can bear.
Psalm 3:3
God lifted David's head to hold high in his loss.
I've just been ripped off and they've blamed it back on me.
And I walked out weeping about how I don't stand up to people.
It is good to care. It is all right to grieve in loss when this happens----
when it engages us to go to God.
No man can fix my need of grace but God.
We are safe under His protection even though the loss is real.
It is a Great Mercy that we run to God in this loss, this day, and that
He has fixed my thoughts on Him.
God is the lifter of my head.
There are always more with me than against me.
