This verse is one of my go-to verses. It strengthens me when I feel weak and helps me stay positive when I feel down. The King James Version translation says, “Casting all your care upon him, for he careth for you”.
When I think of the word “casting” in this context, I think about how one casts a line out into the lake or ocean to fish. We want to catch fish so we throw the line into the water, as it were. We throw our cares unto Jesus who catches them from us. Why would He do this? As the second part of the verse states, it is simply because He cares about us.
No matter what is troubling us, we can bring these troubles to the Lord because He wants to help us. He loves us and wants to take care of us. He can handle whatever you are going through. Trust in Him and give Him your worries. He will help you through them. Ruminate on this verse throughout your day, knowing the Lord will always be here for you.
Questions to consider:
What is worrying you today?
Do you believe that God will take these worries from you?
Do you know how much God cares for you?
When in the past has God helped you through a difficult situation?
