Cast all your cares upon Him

This morning, before coming to work, I read 1 Peter 5. 

It's interesting how the writer transitions from teaching pastors how to instruct their congregations to teaching all of us how to be submissive and humble. My favorite part:

"All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, 'God opposes the proud but gives graces to the humble.' Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may life you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

I broke into song after I read that: "I cast all my cares upon you/I lay all of my burdens down at your feet/And anytime I don't know what to do/I will cast all my cares upon you."

Don't worry about things that don't go right in your lives. Remember that there's someone oh-so-much bigger than you who is in control, even when you're not. Put your worries on God's shoulders, and feel the weight lifted off of your own. He'll take care of you.
