Mornings With GodExemplo
Cast Your Care on God
Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. - 1 Peter 5:7 (AMPC)
I’m so glad you decided to go through this study, and I hope you come away from it with a new level of closeness with God! Before you go, I want to leave you with a hope-filled principle from today’s verse: casting your care on God.
The word cast means to pitch or throw, and that is exactly what you can do with your problems. You can cast (pitch, throw) them on Jesus, knowing that He cares for you and wants to help you anytime you are hurting or have anxieties, worries, or concerns.
The amplification of today’s scripture tells us to cast all of our cares on Him once and for all. That means that once we have cast them on Him, we should not take them back, even though the devil will try to worry us with them. Once you have cast your cares on Jesus, if they try to come back, just say, “I don’t have that problem anymore; Jesus has it, and I am free from worry.”
It is comforting to know that we don’t have to try to take care of things we don’t know how to take care of. If you know what to do, by all means do it; but if you don’t, give it to the Lord, because all things are possible with Him (Matthew 19:26).
Confess: I refuse to frustrate myself trying to solve problems that only God can solve (Ephesians 3:20).
Pray: Dear God, worry wants to take over my thoughts sometimes, but I know Your will for me is to have peace and not be worried about anything. So right now I’m doing what You said to do in Philippians 4:6-7—I’m bringing my requests to You. I’m trusting You for the grace I need to do my part, and for You to intervene to do Your part. In Jesus’ name, amen.
