1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your care upon Him, because He cares for you.
Cast your cares upon me! This is the Word of the Lord to all those who are trying to carry life's burdens, cares and worries on their should.
God is saying to you, "GIVE IT TO ME" for I am willing to carry it for you.
Cast= to throw off, toss
We can only find relief and peace in God when we let go and give life's issues to God.
When we learn to hand our cares over to God we realize that we don’t have to carry the heavy load anymore ourselves.
If you find yourself worried and burdened down, pour out your fear and anxiety to God in prayer and when you do, you will not only feel the burden lifting, but you will also feel the presence of His peace that surpass all understanding.
With our faith in God we CAN find peace and remain calm even when the storms of life is raging all around us.
“Cast all your cares on God,” WHY? Because He cares for you.
God already knows everything that we go through or will ever go through, therefore, He is letting us know that there is no need for us to attempt to carry life's burdens anymore.
God is calling us to a place of trust in Him alone and no longer dependent on ourselves or anyone else to figure out our issues of life. He is calling us to come to Him and He will direct our path.
God' word of instruction and encouragement to all of us on today is "LET IT GO" and GIVE IT TO ME!"
How can we let go of worry and stress? We can do it with absolute confidence in the Word of God that declares to you and I on today that "God cares for us."
When we cast our cares on the Lord our God, we can stand strong in hope, faith and conviction as to who our God is and what He is able to do concerning His people.
The call to all of us on today is to 'TRUST GOD." We do not have to face the trials, test and struggles of life alone for God is calling us to give them to Him and He will carry them for us so that we may be able to focus on the work that He has assigned to our hands in the earth.
Stress and anxiety leads to so many other problems like health issues, ulcers, physical pain and discomfort. People get headaches, backaches, depression, strokes, high blood pressure, problems sleeping and on and on from worry.
Does the cares of this world have you burdened down? Are you tired of carrying around unnecessary stress everyday?
If you answered yes to these questions, there is a way of escape for you on today and His name is "JESUS." Will you give it to Him on today?
God has given us a wonderful promise on today that says "CAST OFF" worry, fear, anxiety, stress, etc because "HE CARES" for us. Who can care for us better than the Lord God, our Creator? NONE!
God's love and provision for His people is perfect. God's Word will do what He commands it to do and He can command His Word to "carry our burdens" if we would just give them to Him.
Imagine life today without the mental worries and burdens of life. It can be yours if you would only trust God on today to carry them for you.
Oh, how different our lives would be if we would take God at His Word today and cast our cares on Him. When we do, we can live with the confidence and assurance that He cares for us.
Ready to take the release leap on today? Cast off life's burdens by faith and watch God catch them and throw them upon His own shoulders and carry them for you.
GIVE IT TO GOD! Take your burdens to the Lord and leave them there.
God bless.
