1 Peter 5:7 is a verse that many Christians may be familiar with: “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” It’s a simple yet beautiful verse, reminding us of a few important truths. First, it encourages us to trust God with our anxieties, worries, fears, doubts, and struggles. Second, it assures us that we can trust Him because He cares for us.

However, I am fully aware, and speak from personal experience, that it’s not always as simple as just making the decision to cast our anxieties on God and moving on. There are times when it’s not easy to stop ourselves from feeling anxious. But when we turn to God in prayer, He helps us release our worries and allows His peace to flow through us.

It’s also important to remember the verse that precedes 1 Peter 5:7. It says, “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time.” God will lift us up! He cares deeply about you and understands the worries of your heart.

Today’s mission is to let go of one of your worries and give it to God. Bring Him the desires of your heart, trust that He will handle it, and allow Him to lift you up!
