Give All Your Worries And Cares To God, For He Cares About You.


Give All
Your Worries And Cares To God,
For He Cares About You.
Scripture
1 Peter 5
So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. 

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.
Observation
You and I have a choice. We can hold on to all of our worries and keep worrying about them or we can give all of them to God. It is a choice that we get to make! For me it is a no brainer, I am going to give them to the only One who can do something about them!
Here are some of my favorite Scriptures that I go to when I catch myself worrying about something. Maybe they will encourage you!
Philippians 4:6-7
6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 
7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Psalm 55:22
22 Give your burdens to the Lord,
    and he will take care of you.
    He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.
Matthew 6:25-30,34
25 “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? 
26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? 
27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?
28 “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, 
29 yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. 
30 And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?
34 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
Application
When I catch myself worrying about something I will immediately take it to the Lord in prayer.
How about you? It is your choice?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, You could have created us to be Super Heroes, but that was not Your plan. You created us to be dependent on You. You want to be our Heavenly Father. You want us to go to You when we have problems. There are plenty of problems that are way bigger than we can handle. Remind me to take all of my problems whether they are big or small to You because I know that You care for me. You care about every detail of my life.
I pray for any person who may read this blog today. Help them not to worry. Help them to take everything to You in prayer. Help them to pray more and worry less.
