Thought For Today: “Cast Your Cares on God”

“Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:6-7)

One of the things that zap our energy and leave us feeling tired and fatigued are those things that keep us up at night. It’s those things we worry about, or those burdens we carry in our soul.

But God’s remedy is to place them squarely upon Him.

“Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.” (Psalm 55:22)

The way we cast them, or give them over to the Lord, is through prayer.

In Philippians 4:6-7 Paul said, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

We’re to cast all our anxieties, worries, and concerns on the Lord, because not only does He care for us, but He also watches over our souls.
