Casting Our Cares

The Lord tells us in 1 Peter 5:7 to give all our anxiety or cares to Him, but in daily practice, it isn’t easy. Before I pray about it, I’ve spent time fretting first. What was gained by stewing and imagining the multitude of ways things could go wrong?

Dr. Tony Evans said in a sermon that worrying is like rocking in a rocking chair and thinking you are going someplace. My heart’s desire is to seek God first before I allow worry to take over my whole being. It begins with intentionality. Perhaps if I put a reminder to pray first on my calendar once a week, I may keep on track.

Lord, help us not let our enemy lure us into worrying. Thank You that You invite us to share our concerns because You care for us. Thank You for always knowing what is best.

  1. Lynn, You and your family have been through an emotionally hard time.  But God is always there even when we don’t realize it.  He knows your heart is in the best place.  That is in Jesus!  He helped you through it.  I keep a prayer journal.   I give thanks and delight in answered prayer.   Bea
