While surfing the Net, I had a pop up on my screen for the scriptural verses of the day. I really don’t pay attention to them when I’m busy, but this particular bible verse caught my attention and it was as if I’m just reading or seeing it for the first time. 1 PET. 5:7 (CASTING ALL YOUR ANXIETIES ON HIM, BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOU).
While pondering on this words, I got the understanding that casting all anxieties on God does not necessarily mean that whatever ails us will be solved, fixed or banished immediately. It means releasing to God all worry, fear, guilt, and remorse. Whatever weighs us down or ties us up. Whatever cares we have about people, situations, the past, the present or the future.
So many times, we are so worried about things that naturally can solve themselves if we allow it, and also things that can get resolved if we take action. We are so worried about Who’ll fix things, or plan to fix things, if I don’t, who will? shouldn’t I be problem solving? Shouldn’t I be doing whatever I can to bring relief? Why am I not achieving this? Why is that not working out as I envisage it?
Perhaps we get as far as casting all care on God but we still allow doubts to creep in. We wonder why God hasn’t fixed the things that were causing us to be anxious even after presenting them to Him in prayers. We keep asking question like “Why as nothing changed”?
Do you know that casting your anxieties on God isn’t a guarantee that He’s about to instantly fix all our troubles? It is a promise and assurance from Him that we can peacefully free from the care of them and we allowing Him to take over.
As we cast our anxieties on God, He relieves us of worry, fear, and any other care that is proving too heavy to carry. He frees us from a sense of helplessness and hopelessness. We can then permit ourselves to receive and enjoy His peace.
As far as the cause of the care goes, that may or may not change, but it no longer has power to drag us down. We can live with it or whatsoever ‘it’ with our mind at rest.
All God is expecting from you today is that you should cast all your anxieties on Him. What a wonderful gift this is!
You are never alone, abandoned or without hope because you have a Father who is always there to help you when you surrender all to Him.
