Carried Every Day
11/26/2025
“Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.” — Psalm 68:19 (NIV)
This one little verse is filled with the truth about who God is and how He relates to His people. David isn’t offering a poetic comfort here, he’s making a declaration: God Himself, the covenant-keeping Lord, daily carries what weighs us down.
The Hebrew phrase for “bears our burdens” paints a picture of God lifting, carrying, and sustaining us. Not occasionally, not when things reach a breaking point, but continually, each and everyday. The same God who split the sea, fed His people in the wilderness, and held them up just “as a father carries his son,” is the same God who carries you today.
Just look at these other verses that substantiate the claim:
“Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you.” Psalm 55:22
“I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.” Isaiah 46:4
You see, God doesn’t just see our burden; He joins us in them. He steps underneath what is crushing, lifts what is beyond our strength, and sustains us with His own power. This is not a passive compassion, it’s an active, daily involvement.
The God who carried Israel for 40 years in the wilderness is the same God who carries you on ordinary Tuesdays, stressful Thursdays, and weary Sundays. He doesn’t grow tired. He doesn’t rotate responsibilities. He doesn’t wait for you to be strong enough or spiritual enough. He bears your burdens because His character is faithful and His love is constant.
This means:
• The weight you feel is not the weight you carry alone.
• The pressure you sense is not the pressure God ignores.
• The strength you lack is the very space where His strength steps in.
Our role is not to muster more willpower, it’s to surrender the load.
Quick Action Steps
• Read Psalm 68:19–20 slowly and thank God for each truth revealed.
• Identify one burden you’ve been carrying in your own strength and consciously release it to God.
• Pray through Isaiah 46:4 and allow its promise to settle deeply in your spirit.
A Challenge for the Day
Each time you feel stress tighten in your chest today, pause and whisper: “Lord, You are carrying me right now.” Let Scripture, not your feelings, define reality.
Prayer
Lord, thank You that You are the God who carries, sustains, and rescues. Thank You that You bear our burdens daily with unfailing strength. Teach us to trust Your steady hands more than our fragile ones. Help us release what we were never meant to shoulder and rest in Your faithful presence. In Jesus’ name, amen.
