Today happened to be one of those days where I was just constantly thinking about things going on in my life with my kids, God's plan for my life, with school, my job, our church ministry etc. It was just these overwhelming thoughts trying to devour me every chance it had. It got so bad, the anxiety I had--I started to exert that energy towards my kids which made me feel even more overwhelmed and defeated because now they began to be more on edge than usual. Had some time during the day to go through my journal, I was reminded of this verse found in 1 Peter 5:7 that says "Casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you." OMgoodness! did I need that!...I was reassured and reminded that I actually have someone who cares about what I'm going through even when those around me may not even know to care. He knows and He does TRULY care. Casting according to the english dictionary means throwing, rejecting, discarding, disposing of. So when it says to cast our cares..it literally means to hand it over to Him while no longer worrying about it. It's knowing and believing that it is now in good hands. It's no longer for you to worry and take care of. It doesn't mean you don't care, it's just saying "Lord, I don't know what tomorrow holds for me but I give that over to you. Lord, I don't know how the bills are going to be paid but I give that to you. I trust you because your Word is true. I trust you because I have given you my life. You are my Savior and Lord. So it's yours to deal with. Stop worrying and give it all to Him sis! Be encouraged!
Yours truly. Naomie St Louis, daughter of the King
