Cast Your Cares On Christ

Originally authored Aug 12, 2003 by Brandon Burton

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

Have you cast all your anxiety on Christ?  God is speaking incredible words to us.  He is telling us that He cares for us.  He does not want us living with anxiety.  What does anxiety entail?  It is common to hear tension, worry, and fear as descriptions related to anxiety.  Some might relate to anxiety as the experience of many sleepless nights full of worry.     Many people can relate to being anxious over money.  Some experience anxiety relating to their children.  Others relate to anxiety by worrying about work and/or school.   Perhaps you can relate to some of these anxieties.  Regardless of your situation, God wants you to cast your anxieties on Him.  He can handle it.   Cast your anxiety over money on God.  Cast your anxiety over a troubled loved one on Him.  God cares for you.  He does not want you to be troubled in mind.  The creator of the universe wants you to cast your anxieties on Him.  What an awesome opportunity!  Who better to take care of your anxieties than the One who reigns over the entire universe.   God cares for you, and He does not want you to have to suffer with anxiety.  Also, be careful of the pitfall of picking up your anxieties after you have cast them upon Christ.  If you begin to have thoughts and worries of an anxious nature begin to creep into your mind, remember that God will take care of those anxieties for you.  You do not have to pick up those thoughts.  Leave your anxieties in the hands of the steadfast One who cares for you.
