When we lived in Nepal, we became aware of the Sherpa people. They generally live in high mountain areas and are extremely strong. It is the Sherpas that carry most of the supplies and loads for mountain climbers. They also prepare the way for climbers.
Psalm 55:22 says, “Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.” The Lord promises to carry our burdens and troubles. He knows that we will face struggles and be tempted to move away from Him, but if we give these troubles to Him, He will not let them come to the point of despair or helplessness. He is able to carry our burdens and desires to do so.
