Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Word of God declares in 1 Peter 5:7, “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”
What a comforting assurance this is! Today, the Lord is speaking directly to your heart. Whatever burdens, worries, or anxious thoughts you are carrying, He is inviting you to lay them at His feet. Some of you, even as you read this message, feel the gentle prompting of the Holy Spirit nudging you to surrender everything to God. Do not hold back—trust that every concern placed in His hands will be cared for and resolved on the mountain of the Lord.
Perhaps you’re struggling with joblessness, mounting debts, family troubles, disobedient children, broken relationships, or painful separations. Maybe your heart is burdened with fear, loneliness, or rejection. Are you a parent whose child no longer listens? A spouse abandoned in confusion and hurt? Have you been mocked or shamed, pushed away from seeing your loved ones? Whatever your situation may be, remember this—you were never meant to carry these burdens alone. The Lord is your refuge. He never desires you to dwell in sorrow. He is the God who turns mourning into dancing, and He will surely act on your behalf today.
Even if your hopes were dashed, perhaps through disappointing exam results or missed opportunities, do not despair. The Lord is not silent—He has an answer for you. He will never let your pain go unanswered.
Testimony of God’s miraculous power.
Sister Chithra from Chennai had been suffering from severe stomach pain. After medical examinations, the doctors diagnosed her with PCOD—cysts in her uterus—and advised immediate surgical removal of the uterus. In her distress, she came to the Chennai Prayer Centre and shared her condition with Brother Stephen, asking for prayer. With deep compassion and faith, he prayed earnestly over her. After this encounter, she returned for a follow-up scan. To the doctors’ amazement, there was no sign of any cysts—her uterus was perfectly healthy. The surgery was no longer needed. Sister Chithra praises God for this divine healing and testifies that the God who healed her will surely do the same for you.
Let us pray together:
Loving Lord, we thank You for Your mercy and compassion. We surrender every worry, every anxious thought, and every burden to You today. Let these worries be transformed into testimonies of joy. Let sorrow be exchanged for gladness, and let every tear be wiped away and replaced with rejoicing. Father, remove the cup of struggle and fill Your children with peace. Bring an end to every disease, every moment of shame, every court case, and every mocking voice. We pray all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ,
Amen.
