"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7
Oh wow! This is such a comforting verse. Truth is, we all have many things that trouble us. We worry about many, many things daily. Some are in our control, others are not. Some are easy to handle, others leave us helpless, and in despair. Well, God does care for us. And I mean He really cares for each one of us. Even the minute things, the mundane things concerning us- He is concerned about ALL of them.
When I read this verse, I opted to cast all my anxieties on him. And they are many! I have worried over many things and even cried over some. But knowing that God cares for me makes all the difference. I can face each day, knowing that God has heard my prayers, my silent cries and He will act according to His good purpose.
Let us have this confidence in our God. That as we cast our anxieties on Him, we will experience the joy and peace of knowing that a loving Father, will take care of those things that really trouble us. Amen.
