Our world is full of challenges that burden our souls. Often, young people fall into depression due to problems that they cannot appropriately handle such as: academic failure, poverty, rejection, addiction to drugs and immoral practices. However, in our text, Jesus declares Himself the Burden Bearer of all those who genuinely come to Him.
Are your burdens unbearable? Jesus is able and willing to help you. The Samaritan woman, who could not keep to a man, burdened Nicodemus, the ruler, and Zacchaeus, the corrupt public officer, all got help from Christ.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
