When you go on a trip... You pack the stuff you thik you will need. How silly of us if we were going to the Bahamas for summer vacation and we not only packed huge coats and mittens, but decided to take the computer (not the laptop mind you) along with the monitor and the printer, and maybe for the three day trip-- take enough clothes for a whole month?
In our our journey to get closer with God as well as grow to be be more like Jesus, God says don't take any baggage with you. He tells us in Matthew 11.28 "If you are tired of carrying heavy loads, come to me and I will giv eyou rest." And in 1 Peter 5.7 it says "Cast all your cares (anxiety, worry, stress) on God for he will care (he will stress, he will do the worrying) for you."
Before continuing on your trip, give all the excess stuff you don't need to God. Leave all the baggage with Him. he will more than gladly take it from you.
