God Cares for You

Cast Your Anxiety on Him

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.

1 Peter 5:7

Anxiety often feels like a weight strapped to the soul—tightening the chest, clouding the mind, and pulling us toward fear of what might unfold. Peter’s invitation is astonishing in its simplicity: cast your anxiety on God. Not suppress it, not carry it alone, but place it deliberately into the hands of the One who cares for you far more deeply than you even care for yourself. Anxiety grows when we clutch it tightly, but peace begins the moment we release it.

Daniel shows us how this surrender works in real life. Faced with a crisis that threatened his life and the lives of his friends, Daniel didn’t yield to panic. Instead, he turned to his closest companions and pleaded for mercy from the God of heaven (Daniel 2:17-18). God answered with clarity, wisdom, and peace—revealing what no earthly mind could know. Daniel’s first response was worship: “I thank and praise You… You have made known to us what we asked of You.” When Daniel released the burden, God filled the space with confidence and direction.

George Müller captured this spiritual exchange with profound insight: “The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety.” Faith is not denial of reality—it is surrendering reality to a God who rules it. When grace carries your fears, you walk lighter. When trust replaces worry, you stand steadier. Whatever presses on your heart today—large or small—the God of all grace invites you to cast it onto Him. As you do, He will lift you, strengthen you, and guard you with His peace.

Prayer

Lord, we cast our anxieties on You—every fear, every burden, every unspoken weight. Carry what we cannot. Fill us with Your peace, steady our hearts, and teach us to trust that Your grace is enough for every moment. Amen.
