Many of my friends and family have experienced a variety of upheavals over the past little while…a death in the family, job insecurity, health issues. The youth I know are also not immune to stress and upset. Many struggle with depression, heartache, relationships and school-related challenges such as assignment deadlines and exams. For any of you who are feeling the “weight of the world” on your shoulders…cast your care upon the One Whose shoulders are big enough to carry the burden for you!
