Your "Burden" is Your "Lot"
While translated as "burden," scholars note the original Hebrew word more literally means "what is given to you" or your "lot." This refers to the specific portion of life God has assigned you, including your trials, responsibilities, and circumstances. The encouragement is to entrust this entire allotment back into God's capable hands, trusting His wisdom and provision for what He has given you to bear or do.
