Tag: What the Bible says about casting our cares on God

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-29-20

1 Peter 5:7 (NKJV) 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

When someone we know is struggling, it’s so important that we take it to God. We stand with them in prayer, but we leave it there with Him.

This is a nice little reminder that we all need from time to time.

I have such a hard time with this one. It’s so very hard for me to separate my emotions from the things I hear, and leave them at the cross with Jesus, for Him to pick up and carry.

I like how it was Peter who told us to “cast”. Peter was a fisherman in his day, and he knew what it meant to cast.

He used to cast those ole nets off the side of his boat. And most likely he didn’t throw them into the water gingerly or haphazardly. He threw them over with purpose, hoping for a good haul because that was his livelihood; his bread and butter.

The definition for “cast” says this: throw forcefully in a specified direction.

Well, we know the direction we need to throw our cares. There’s no doubt; at the feet of Jesus. For the scriptures says, He cares for us!

Let’s be sure to get this straight. What do we throw off? Our cares.

Does it specify a limit as to what type of cares or how many cares? Nope. Just whatever is concerning us or emotionally exhausting us.

Cast whatever is eating up our thoughts today. Whatever is causing us to be sorrowful or depressed. Whatever is making us feel helpless or hopeless.

We are going to take them all and throw them with purpose at Jesus’ feet. Then, get up and walk away with confidence that He’s got it.

Get some rest now. Heal from that emotional exhaustion and be free. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

We love you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-27-20

Matthew 11:30 (NKJV) 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

When God deals with something on the inside of us, He removes it. It’s gone.

It doesn’t mean we don’t remember what happened. It just means that He makes it so we don’t carry the burden of it any longer. He makes it easy on us.

Are we letting Him completely deal with our stuff? Or are we pretending?

We do that sometimes. We give it over with our words, but in our heart we don’t let it fully go.

Let’s break it down.

One day when we are tired, we say, “Lord take this from me and deal with it accordingly. I can’t anymore”.

Then, on another occasion, maybe we are feeling a little better, little stronger, or maybe a little feistier, so we try and “help” Him move a little quicker by sticking our noses in and doing it our way.

What is that?

That is saying, “Lord, I gave it to you on Sunday, but Monday I’m taking it back”. That is saying, “Lord You are not moving fast enough for me”. That is saying, “Lord I don’t really trust that You are going to deal with it because you have more important things on Your plate, so maybe I need to tend to it myself”.

When God deals with something, it’s over for good. But when we try to deal with it, we are back and forth with our emotions. It’s not complete. There will always be fragments in there that we missed.

Let Him have the whole thing and watch how He gets rid of it for good. Carry only what He wants us to carry. Walk and live light.

1 Peter 5:7 (NKJV) 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-2-19

1 Peter 5:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Today, we just want you to know that you mean the world to Papa. He cares so much for your life!

You may be feeling low, dejected or depressed. Maybe you are feeling you just can’t get things right and you don’t know what to do.

It may seem like everything you touch doesn’t turn out the way you want it to. You may have made many mistakes along the way, some small and some big. However, He loves you more than you can imagine.

Maybe you feel He is nowhere around and the quietness is killing you. Don’t turn your back on Him. He is still there.

In that stillness, God is fixing things. He is turning things. He is working on the very things that will change the direction that we need.

Rest in Him as He works everything out. Be careful to listen for His voice and follow His leading.

Psalm 36:5 (NKJV) 5 Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-19-18

1 Peter 5:7 (NKJV) 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

This time of year can feel very busy and stressful for some people. Many may be missing a loved one, and for some people they may be feeling lonely, with no one to share the holidays with.

We know that it’s a hard time for you and we want you to know that God knows what you are going through, and how you feel at this very moment, more than anyone.

He knows the smile you put on your face when others are around, but deep down you ache and are sad inside.

Know that He cares for you. He sees you in those moments when you feel so alone. He is there, holding you tightly. Let Him bring peace to you this season. Rest in Him, cry on His shoulder, talk to Him and let out how you feel.

He truly does care for you and what you are going through.

We love you and our prayers are with you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-24-17

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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-29-15

Psalm 55:22 (NKJV) 22 Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

Cast means to throw or move (something) in a forceful way.

In this scripture we are told to cast our burden.

Is something weighing heavy on our hearts today? Find a quiet place and get with God. Share with Him our concerns, our problems, and the things that are disturbing us.

We can’t carry these things alone. They will affect us negatively.

If we are facing a dilemma today, know that as God’s children, He expects us to come to Him with them and cast them onto Him. Then He can help guide us through.

If we do this, we will NOT be moved by it.
