LET GOD TAKE CARE OF YOU.

God want to take care of His children, and He has promised to do so:

Casting the whole of your concerns, once and for all on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. (1 Peter 5:7).

We can either try to take care of ourselves, or we can trust God and He will do it for us. Psalm 55:22 says to cast our care on Him, and He will sustain us. The Holy Spirit is a gentleman, and He will not force His help on us. We must ask for it.

We can say that we trust the Lord, but He also want to see the fruit of it. One of the ways we show our trust in God is by refusing to worry and be anxious.

If you are one of those people who seem to worry about everything, I want you to know that God knows how you feel and He alone is in good place to deliver you. There are biblical principles you can learn that will bring freedom from the bondage of worry.

First Peter 5:6 says

We are to humble ourselves under the mighty hands of God, so in due time He might exalt us.
Verse 7. As we have seen, to cast all care on Him, for He cares about us.

These two verses together are saying that humility leads us into freedom from worry. We will worry as long as we think we can solve our problems, but humility says, "I need God, I need help".

Proud people are independent, but God requires us to be totally dependent upon Him. Habakkuk 2:4 teaches us that the soul of the proud person is not right within him. Part of the soul is the mind, and God does not consider our minds to be right when we are worrying. The just and righteous man live by faith; he leans on God for everything.

First Peter 5:5 states that God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humble people knows they are nothing without God. That they can do nothing of any real value without Him.

If we know what to do, we should do it and if we don't, we should admit it.

God bless you.

Sort:  

In life we can't do it alone, nor make it happen on our own.... All we have to do is to cast our cares on God almighty.... Casting our cares on God for me is more than just an instruction but a commandment for prosperity.
Thank you so much @florawilliams.

Look at how God provided for Christ in the wilderness, just because he stood for God! And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him. Mark 1:13

Remain loved dear @florawilliams

Our anxieties, problems, loads, poverty are light for the Lord Jesus to carry, so lets invite him into our lives. Thank you for sharing with us.
