What does the Bible say about laying my burdens on Jesus?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that we can lay our burdens and sins on Jesus, who bears them and gives rest to our weary souls (Matthew 11:28).

The concept of laying our burdens on Jesus is profoundly rooted in Scripture, particularly highlighted in Matthew 11:28-30 where Jesus invites the weary and burdened to come to Him for rest. In this passage, Jesus assures us that He is gentle and humble in heart, and that by coming to Him, we find rest for our souls. This invitation emphasizes the grace and mercy of Christ, who cares for our struggles and offers relief from our spiritual and emotional burdens. Furthermore, 1 Peter 5:7 encourages believers to cast all their anxieties on God because He cares for them, reiterating the comforting notion that we do not have to bear our burdens alone.
