Cast Your Cares

 

     Sunshine, flowers, happy thoughts, beautiful mornings. We believe it would be best if every day was filled with easy living and comfort. Think back on your life. Where did you gain the most wisdom? When did you feel closest to God? When have you relied on God’s strength most and when did you begin to trust Him with all that was happening in your life?

     If you are like me, the darkest times, the times of deepest suffering brought you into a more intimate relationship with Christ. Even in music, the minor chords lead us to appreciate the majors. Gratefulness and thanksgiving are often most apparent after coming through a tough time. Life is filled with tough challenges and deep struggles.

     Without Jesus, I don’t know how anyone gets through it all. With Him, we gain perspective over time, we gain wisdom through His words to us, we gain trust when He gets us through one more crisis and we gain peace and joy when eternity is secure.

     Count on Him. Rely on His power. Trust Him to see you through the next moment, the next hour, through one more day. His grace is sufficient. He cares for you.

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. 2 Peter 5:7

Father,

We don’t understand why we suffer. You do. And Your power shines through every situation. We cast all of our anxiety on You today knowing You care for us.

In Jesus name,

Amen
