1 Peter 5:7 tells us to cast all of our cares upon him (Jesus) because he cares for us. Other words for cares might be worry or concerns or anxiety. What are you worried about, what are you anxious about? One only has to turn on the television or radio and the pundits will be telling you the next thing to worry about.
Phillipians 4:6 tells us Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Proverbs 12:25 tells us that anxiety in the heart of a man weighs it down, but a good work makes it glad. So, it seems to be a simple solution to our cares/anxieties/worries. Step one, cast your cares on Jesus. Step two don't worry. Step three present your requests to God. Step four give thanks. When you do these four steps, you will not be weighed down.
So, the next time you are anxious, call on Jesus because he cares for you.
Blessing,
Carol
