1 Peter 5:7 (NKJV) 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
Sometimes we face trials and challenges in our lives that we just aren’t prepared for.
Many times things hit us that we were never expecting. They come at us out of the blue and they blindside us, sending us reeling. Sometimes it feels like we can’t even catch our balance and we’re going to go crashing down.
These things are just part of life here in the world that we live in. Financial hardships, health issues & diseases, loss of loved ones and so much more.
So how do we handle these things without them destroying us and tearing our lives to pieces? How do we stay standing when it feels like everything is trying to knock us down?
We muster up whatever strength we have and we use it to cast all of our cares and burdens onto God. We let Him give us the peace and the rest we need in order to keep going.
Jesus told us to take His yoke upon ourselves, and in doing so we will find rest for our souls.
Matthew 11:29-30 (NKJV) 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
If we don’t cast our cares upon Him, we tend to hang onto them and try to bear them ourselves. This leads to worrying and fretting, both of which will only lead us deeper into despair.
So we encourage you today to take those cares and burdens that are weighing you down and give them to God. Place them at His feet and leave them there.
