Casting all of your cares upon him, for he careth for you. I Peter 5:7

Put worry down. My beautiful brother, my endearing sister, this is no mistake that you are reading this. Walk with me for a moment and rest for a little while.

Rest.

Place anxiety down. Place fear down. Place doubt down. Place worry down. Place pain down. Place hurt down. Place insecurity down. Place the argument down. Place the fight down. Place the uncertainty down. Place it at the footstool of Jesus.

My dear brother, my beloved sister, aren't you tired? Tired of trying to fix it? Tired of trying to control it? Tired of trying to find the solution for all that troubles you, dear friend, let it go. I admonish you to cease and desist your efforts.

Rest.

For as long as you try to fix it our Heavenly Father can not. Cast your care upon him, ask him to take this cup from you, believe and trust that he will and doubt not in your heart, and rest in his word, that He will do exactly what he says.

Dearly beloved let go.

Trust.

Worry has no place here. We are spiritual beings manifested in flesh bodies working amongst rules and regulations the world created, gifted with the knowledge of who God is, and what God can do, anointed to share his wonder, his glory, and simply who he is with those who don’t know him.

Praise him in your pain. Love him in your pain. Trust him in your pain. He is right there. Trust him, please trust him, he is right there he has never, ever left your side. He knows your needs, but you need to stop trying to solve the problems, let it go, the battle is not yours, cease and desist your efforts, let go and truly with all that you have in your mind, body, and spirit give it freely to God.

Jesus can answer you RIGHT NOW in your circumstance. Believe that he will answer you in your situation, and before he answers PRAISE HIM right now.

Praise him that you know him, praise him that you can come to him, praise him that he loves you, praise him that he knows your situation, praise him that he has not forgotten you, praise him that he is not mad at you, praise him that you are not a bad person, praise him that he has forgiven you, praise him that he can’t help but to love you, in all that you do, have done, and will do he loves YOU.

So Cast your cares upon HIM, for He cares for you. May the body of Christ be blessed; I hope these words are a blessing to someone as they are a blessing to me. Thank you Holy Spirit for giving me the words to say.

Such an inspiring article, very well written. May these words give lot of comfort to all those who are in pain and trouble; to all those discouraged hearts who are calling out to God and asking Him where He is! God bless.

Lisa,
Absolutely beautiful and inspiring! I really loved it. If I was a publisher, I would buy it and print it immediately.

May God continue to inspire you to write such inspirational material.

Sincerely,
Dan Blankenship
