“Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.” 1 Peter 5:7 (AMPC)

Do you have cares, responsibilities, or obligations that you cannot meet or fulfill?  Gaps in your own life or empty places that you worry you may have caused in the life of others? In the quiet moments alone when your heart aches, do you wonder, “How can I make it right?”  “Will I, or my family, be okay?”  “Will we make it through?”
 
Cherished child of God, if this is you, rest assured that Jesus is the One Who can handle it all.  Shift those weights and worries unto Him and allow Him to handle them for you—re-working and re-building them in the process to something glorious and new!
 
Difficult circumstances, concerns, needs, and fears, are all transformed in the strong and capable hands of your Saviour, Who’s ever present help is always there. He knows the burdens you bear, the situations that weigh so heavily upon you, but His full intention, if you will allow Him, is to work all things out for good, in ways that you may not fully see now, but will be life to you, and those you care for too.
 
He knows every detail, for His loving gaze is upon you always, and dear heart, you must allow Him to carry these for you, as only He can do—for truly, deeply, passionately, continually—He cares for you.
