Scripture Reading
1 Peter 5:7
Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
Reflection
The word "cast" suggests a deliberate act — like throwing a heavy rope to someone on a dock. Our anxieties are real and heavy, but we are not meant to carry them alone. The reason we can release them is not simply that God is capable, but that he cares — personally, tenderly, for you. That changes everything about how we approach worry.
Prayer for Today
Dear Lord, in this moment, I find myself struggling with worries. I know this is not Your will and that You wish me to lay my burdens at Your feet. I know I can turn my cares over to You, who have died on the cross to set me free. I choose to trust in
You, Lord, to focus on You, and to leave behind my worries and my cares, as they are nothing in Your light. When I find myself falling to my knees, let it be in front of You, with Your name on my lips, dear God. You will
ease my burden and let me live free. In Your Name, Amen.
