Psalm 55: 22, cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never permit the righteous to be moved.
1 Peter 5: 7, cast all your cares on Him, because He cares for you.
One of the most powerful things we can do in our lives is also one of the most difficult for most people. I am talking about casting your cares on the Lord.
Casting your cares is just what it says. Whenever we have a problem no matter how big or how small the wise thing to do is ask the Lord to take it. Now comes the hard part, you must be patient and believe that He will do what He promised to do.
Putting it in simple terms, if you give your day to the Lord and everything in it, He will not let you down. I got in the habit of saying Lord willing, and then whatever it is. At first it was kind of hard because we all want to feel like we are in control.
The amazing part is, and it's happened to me many times I had a plan to do something, and I ask the Lord to help me and then I just trust Him. Well, a lot of the time I ended up not doing what I had planned on doing that day, I ended up doing something that was lurking in the background causing me a little bit of anxiety.
I have had more problems taken care of in the easiest way possible when I kept myself out of the picture. There are times it was pretty comical because I would plan on something to do for instance next week, and the Lord decided I should do it that day. As it inevitably turns out that was the best possible timing.
Casting your cares on the Lord is the most powerful thing you can do. Trusting the Lord to take care of things can be difficult until you realize just how faithful He is. I talk about casting cares quite a lot, because it is the greatest thing besides salvation that has happened to me. When I look back, I see how things always worked out. An example I think of, that's how I met my wife. It was in the smallest window of time as they say, add an impossible situation, and you'll get the Lord doing some of his best work.
Philippians 4: 6-7, do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Yes, my friends, trust in the Lord and if you have to start out with something small, just trust Him to handle it. I'm not saying He is our servant and He has to do things, I am saying He loves us that much that He would rather take our burdens on Himself then let us suffer with them. God Bless you and your family.
Praise The Lord!
Remember Jesus Loves you.
Prayer of Salvation.
My Lord Jesus Christ, I Thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed and your blood washed away my sins. Your death and resurrection made my salvation possible. I confess my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal Savior. Thank you Lord
Amen!
Praise The Lord!
