Burden: cause (someone) hardship or distress.
This also applies to ourselves as well because when we worry about something to a certain extreme it will start to physically affect us. I know when someone comes to me and tells me things that they are going through I tend to hold on to it because that is just who I am, but the thing is I need to learn to let it go and give to God in order for Him to do something about it. I am always telling my friends that if they need to talk they can talk to me, but when they do I still think about it for a very long time till I can't take it anymore.
At that point I have no choice but to give it to God for Him to do what He wants to do with it, so I don't have to. I believe that is how most people are as well. Something will happen in their life that they will start to worry about and they won't let something to be done, so they allow it to sit and grow until it becomes unbearable. That isn't a healthy thing to do because it can hinder us from doing things.
The logical thing to do is to give it to God and let Him deal with it and to not think about it again because if we do that they it won't be a burden for us to carry. There is no need for us to continue to hold on to something when we have a God that is bigger than anything that we are going through and He will always be there when we need Him to.
