Read 1 Peter 5:7
"Casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you."
Devotional
Sometimes we carry worries that nobody else knows about. We might look fine on the outside while feeling overwhelmed on the inside.
God tells us to cast our anxieties on Him because He cares about us. The word “cast” means to throw or place something onto someone else. God doesn’t ask you to hold onto your fears and struggles by yourself.
Maybe you worry about what people think of you. Maybe you worry about your future, grades, relationships, or making mistakes. God cares about those things because He cares about you.
Prayer is not just asking God to fix problems. Prayer is also trusting God with the things you cannot control.
Today, take a moment to tell God honestly what is on your heart. He is listening.
