Cast all of your care on the Lord.

“Casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]” 1 Peter 5:7, Amplified.

What is a care? It is anything we are overly concerned about. Sometimes we can get in the ditch about this subject. We either pretend we don’t care about anything, or we care too much about everything. God didn’t tell us not to care at all or to not think about things. We should care about our children’s safety, about what’s going on with our bodies, our money, and our overall emotional, mental and physical health. We should care about these things and make the best decisions we can make regarding them.

However, where we get into trouble is when we have done everything we know to do, and we begin to care about things we have no control over. When we get over into doing God’s job and worrying about things we can’t control, that’s when the red flag goes up, and we stop and throw our hands up and say to ourselves, “I’m not worrying about this another minute. I cast my cares on the Lord!”

We can raise our children the best we know how and set them up for great success, but if they choose to grow up and live like a barbarian, we can’t do anything about that but give them to God and cast that care on Him. We can do everything we know to do regarding our marriages, but if our husband tells us they’re done, we can’t do anything to make him stay. All we can do is give our marriages to God and cast all of our care on Him because He cares for us.

My sister, if God never sleeps or slumbers, that means we can get some rest. There’s no sense in staying up worrying about a situation we can’t do anything to change. When we have done all we know to do regarding a situation, it’s time to say, “Okay, Father, I give this to you. Help me trust you to take care of it.”

Prayer: Lord, thank you for your overwhelming love and concern for me. Help me not waste another minute caring about things I can’t do anything about. I’ve done all I know to do, and now I cast all of my cares on you for your care for me. You love me. I put my trust in you regarding every area of my life. I now command my body to calm down and my muscles and nerves to relax. I receive peace of mind and the comfort of your Holy Ghost. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
