Casting our anxiety on Him

It is so easy to feel anxious, right?

• Should I move from this house?
• Should I start this business?
• How am I going to make ends meet this month?
• Should I quit my job?

Questions like these flood our minds every day. And our desire for control often keeps us from remembering who is truly in control of our lives.

Carrying our worries, stresses, and struggles on our own shows that we have not fully trusted God with our lives. It takes humility to recognize that God cares, to admit our needs, and to allow Him to help us. 

Trusting God with our anxieties requires action, not passivity

Don’t submit to your circumstances—submit to the Lord, who holds all circumstances in His hands.

"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you."
1 Peter 5:7

Look at this verse and its promise: He cares for us. All we need to do is cast our anxieties on Him. Casting isn’t the same as dropping or placing them down gently—it requires effort, a deliberate act of throwing all our burdens in His direction. And when we do, the Lord will take our worries and carry them for us.

Dear Father, with all my strength, I throw my concerns to You.
I trust You. Thank You for taking care of me.
