There is so much sorrow in the world right now! It is so comforting to know that we are not alone, that we have a Savior who cares for us and is there for us to help relieve the pressures life throws at us. Let us look at scripture... 1 Peter 5:7 'casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.'
Let's break this verse down:
The word 'care' in the original language means anxiety/worry. My friend, when difficult times come our way, our natural response is to worry or be anxious, but listen to what the Apostle Peter is saying - “Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” The word “cast” in the original language means “having deposited with”. It refers here to a direct and once-for-all committal to God of all that would give us concern; the word “all” has the idea not of every worry that comes along, but the whole of their worries. In other words we are to give the whole of our cares, our anxiety, our worry to God, don't just give part of it but every part of the worry/anxiety.
The result will be that when those worries come up we will not worry but cast them over to God. It all comes down to knowing that God is in control, He knows what we are going through and promises to see us through them.
