Peter 5:7 it is written: "Casting all your care on him; for he careth for
you". A very similar verse in the Old Testament is Psalm 55:22: "Cast
thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous
to be moved".
God does not want us to worry and he invites us to give him
all of our cares. I understand that if you are going through very stormy waters
this can be very hard to do. We may attempt to cast our cares only to pick them
up again later. However, every time we pick them up we need to cast them back
on the Lord; we may have to do that many times.
The reason we can cast our
cares on the Lord is because: "he careth for us" and because he cares
for us he will: "sustain us". Wow, what an amazing, loving God we
serve. Related scriptures: Phil. 4:6 – 8; Matt. 6:25 - 34.
