“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)

One of the reasons we stay anxious is because we try to carry what God never meant us to carry.

God doesn’t ask you to shoulder your worries-He invites you to surrender them. When you pray, don’t just think about your fears. Put words to your worries. Give them to God, one by one, and ground your heart in His Word.

You weren’t created to carry anxiety in your own. You are called to cast it on a caring God who can carry what you can’t.
