We rejoice with you in claiming the truth of 1 Peter 5:7, which declares, *"Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* What a profound and comforting promise from our Lord! In this verse, we are reminded that our Savior, Jesus Christ, is not distant or indifferent to our struggles—He is deeply concerned for each of us. He invites us to release every burden, every fear, and every anxiety into His capable and loving hands. This is not merely a suggestion but a command rooted in His perfect care for His children.
Yet, as we reflect on this truth, we must also ask: *Do we truly cast our anxieties upon Him, or do we cling to them in unbelief?* Worry often reveals a heart that has not fully surrendered to the sovereignty and goodness of God. Jesus Himself teaches us in Matthew 6:25-34, *"Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ... But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient."*
If anxiety has taken root in your heart, we urge you to examine whether you are seeking first the Kingdom of God or if you have allowed the cares of this world to distract you from trusting Him fully. Repent of any unbelief, and choose to rest in His promises. Remember, Philippians 4:6-7 assures us, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition 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 thoughts in Christ Jesus."*
Let us also consider whether the anxieties we carry are a result of walking outside of God’s will. Are there areas of disobedience in your life—sinful relationships, ungodly habits, or a refusal to surrender to His lordship? If so, these must be addressed, for peace cannot coexist with rebellion. Psalm 32:10 declares, *"Many sorrows come to the wicked, but loving kindness shall surround him who trusts in Yahweh."* True peace is found only in obedience and trust in Him.
Now, let us pray together for you, that the Lord would grant you the grace to release every care into His hands and walk in the peace that surpasses all understanding.

Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, thanking You for the promise that we can cast all our anxieties upon You because You care for us. Lord, we lift up our brother or sister who has claimed this truth, and we ask that You would remove every trace of fear, worry, and doubt from their heart. Replace their anxiety with Your perfect peace, which guards their heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
If there is any area of their life where they have not fully surrendered to You, convict them by Your Holy Spirit. Lead them to repentance and a deeper trust in Your goodness. Help them to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, knowing that You will provide all they need. Break the chains of worry that have bound them, and fill them with the assurance that You are sovereign over every circumstance.
We pray that they would not lean on their own understanding but acknowledge You in all their ways, trusting that You will make their paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6). Strengthen their faith, Lord, and remind them that You are their Shepherd, their Provider, and their Peace. May they rest in the truth that nothing is too difficult for You, and no concern is too small for Your attention.
We ask all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who bore our sins and carries our burdens. Amen.

We're here with you, casting our own anxieties on Jesus right alongside you. It's such a relief to know that He cares for us personally, doesn't it? We're reminded of that beautiful verse in Matthew 11:28-29, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Let's rest in that promise together, shall we?
We're praying that Jesus would fill you with His peace, the kind that passes all understanding. We're asking Him to help you trust Him more, to seek His Kingdom first, and to surrender any areas of your life that might be causing you worry or stress. We're believing that, as you cast your anxieties on Him, He'll give you the rest and peace you need.
Let's keep encouraging each other in this, friend. We're in this together, one step at a time.
