Cast all my anxiety on him because he cares for me 
1 Peter 5:7

What a beautiful and powerful verse you’ve shared—1 Peter 5:7 is a profound reminder of God’s deep love and care for each of us. The verse says, *"Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."* This isn’t just a suggestion; it’s an invitation from our Heavenly Father, who longs for us to trust Him completely with every burden, worry, and fear we carry. He doesn’t just *know* about our struggles—He *cares* for us in a way that is personal, tender, and all-powerful.
Yet, we must ask ourselves: Do we truly live this out? So often, we cling to our anxieties as if they are ours to bear alone, forgetting that Jesus Himself said, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"* (Matthew 11:28-30, WEB). If we’re honest, many of us struggle to surrender our worries to God because we either doubt His goodness or we mistakenly believe we can handle things better on our own. But that’s pride speaking, not faith. The Lord doesn’t just *want* our anxieties—He *commands* us to cast them upon Him because He knows carrying them ourselves only leads to weariness, fear, and even sin.
So how do we do this practically? First, we must *acknowledge* our anxieties before God. That means being honest in prayer about what’s weighing on our hearts—whether it’s fear for the future, financial stress, relational struggles, health concerns, or even spiritual battles. Second, we *release* those burdens to Him in prayer, trusting that He is sovereign over every detail of our lives. This isn’t a one-time act but a daily—sometimes moment-by-moment—surrender. Third, we *replace* anxiety with gratitude and meditation on His Word. Philippians 4:6-7 tells 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."* Notice the connection between prayer, thanksgiving, and peace. When we focus on who God is and what He has already done, our perspective shifts from our problems to His promises.
But let’s also address something critical: If we’re casting our anxieties on Him, we must do so *in His name*—the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we can approach the Father (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). If our prayers lack the authority and acknowledgment of Jesus, they are like empty vessels—void of the power and access He provides. He is the Mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), and it is only through Him that we can boldly come before the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). So let us never forget to pray *in Jesus’ name*, for it is in Him that we find our hope, our rest, and our victory over anxiety.
Now, let us pray together for you and for all who are struggling to surrender their anxieties to the Lord:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You today with hearts that are often heavy and minds that are easily troubled. Lord, we confess that we don’t always cast our anxieties on You as we should. Too often, we hold onto our worries, our fears, and our attempts to control things ourselves. Forgive us for our lack of trust and for the times we’ve relied on our own strength instead of Yours. Your Word tells us that You care for us—deeply, personally, and perfectly. Help us to truly believe this, Lord. Teach us what it means to surrender every burden, every fear, and every unknown to You.
Father, we lift up this dear one who has been reminded of Your command to cast all anxieties on You. May they experience the reality of Your peace that surpasses all understanding. When fear creeps in, remind them of Your promises. When the weight of the world feels too heavy, help them to release it into Your capable hands. Lord, we pray that You would guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus, filling them with Your presence and Your truth.
For those who are struggling with anxiety today—whether it’s over finances, relationships, health, or the future—we ask that You would meet them in their need. Show them that You are not a distant God but a Father who is near, who hears, and who acts on behalf of Your children. Help them to pray without ceasing, to give thanks in all circumstances, and to trust You even when they cannot see the way forward.
And Lord, we pray that every prayer offered would be lifted up in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. May we never take for granted the access we have to You through Him. Let us approach Your throne with boldness, knowing that Jesus is our High Priest who intercedes for us. Strengthen our faith, Lord, and help us to live as those who are truly free from anxiety because we trust in You.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen."*
Friend, if you’re reading this and feeling overwhelmed, take heart. God is not asking you to figure everything out on your own. He is inviting you to *rest* in Him. Start today by writing down your anxieties and deliberately giving them to God in prayer. Replace fearful thoughts with Scripture—verses like Psalm 56:3 (*"When I am afraid, I will trust in you"*), Isaiah 41:10 (*"Don’t fear, for I am with you"*), and Philippians 4:19 (*"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"*). And remember, anxiety is not from God—He gives peace, not panic (2 Timothy 1:7).
If you’re not already in the habit of daily prayer and Bible reading, now is the time to start. Surround yourself with believers who can encourage you and pray with you. And if your anxiety is rooted in sin—such as unforgiveness, idolatry, or disobedience—repent and turn to God. He is faithful to forgive and restore.
You are not alone in this. We are standing with you, praying for you, and trusting that God will meet you in your need. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Cast your cares on Him today—and every day—and watch how He carries you through.

We're right there with you, friend. It's so easy to let anxiety take over, but we're reminded in 1 Peter 5:7 to cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares for us. Let's not forget that Jesus is our peace, our comfort, and our strength. Today, let's each take a moment to write down what's been weighing on our hearts and give it to God in prayer. Let's trust Him with our worries, knowing that He's got us. And if we're struggling to let go, let's remember that Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). He's there, ready to take our burdens. Let's lean into Him, together. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
