Oh the freedom this verse can bring us:
“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” 1Pe 5:7 NIV
So once we are aware that we are experiencing anxiety, and once we are no longer embarrassed by it, requirement number 2 is… to pray. Connecting with God so He can continue to fill us with the truth of who we now are in Christ is the way we move closer to letting go of those cares that are causing disruptions in our peace and joy. As we talk with God, as we read His Word, as we listen to teachers and preachers, we learn that we are forgiven, saved, free and fully loved. God has already adopted us into His Forever Family and cares for us more than I think we will ever realize this side of Heaven.
It is because God calls us His, that we can cast all our anxieties on Him. Because He loves this “hot mess,” I can trust Him with whatever is going on in my life. It is His Love that saves us and continues to save us still. The more I pray and connect deeper and deeper to that Truth, the more I can be free from everything that tries to bring me down…yep I said everything. Read the verse again as you work on memorizing it today to see what I mean…more tomorrow.
