“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV) |

Excerpt:
The Holy Spirit led me through that morning’s list, and then He brought several more concerns to mind — burdens I hadn’t even realized I was bearing until I felt the load lighten. One by one, I cast all my concerns onto Jesus, grateful for His willingness to carry them for me.
What concerns are you carrying today, my sweet friend? Take a deep breath. Now exhale. Repeat. Do this little exercise as often as needed. Give those concerns to Jesus because He cares for you.
Heavenly Father, thank You for offering to carry our concerns. When we’re worried or afraid, please remind us You are completely trustworthy. Help us yield control to You so our concerns cannot control us. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
