Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.
God’s Word teaches us not to worry, but at times we are all tempted to do it anyway. As a mother, I want all of my children to be happy at all times, and when they are not, I tend to get concerned about them and I want to fix whatever the problem is. I find myself in that situation today, and I am busy reminding myself that worrying and fretting does absolutely no good. It is actually a total waste of time.
Even though we may know the Word of God, we often have to remind ourselves of it by meditating on it or looking up scriptures we know, reading them again and again. God’s Word contains power that will help us do what we know we should do, and it will comfort us in our concerns.
God’s Word is medicine for our souls. It calms our emotions and gives us peace of mind. Anytime you are worried about anything, I encourage you to turn to God’s Word for the strength you need to let it go!
Prayer of the Day: Father, I know that You don’t want me to worry, but instead trust You at all times. Help me learn to never waste my time on worry.
