Anxiety & Peace

Day 2 · Anxiety & Peace

Cast It On Him

“Humble yourselves under God's mighty hand... casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.”1 Peter 5:6-7

Reflection

To 'cast' is to throw something off yourself and onto another. Peter ties it to humility: anxiety often hides a quiet pride that says the outcome depends on me. Casting your care on God is an act of trust that He is both able and willing to carry it.

A prayer

Father, I have been holding what You offered to carry. I let it go onto Your strong hands. Forgive the pride that thinks it all depends on me. I trust that You care for me, down to the detail. Amen.

Carry this with you

What would change today if you truly believed God cares about this particular thing?
