Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
—1 Peter 5:7 (NLT)
Loving and Compassionate Heavenly Father,
Help me to remember that when I give all my worries and cares to You, I am giving You a welcomed gift of my faith in Your abounding love for me.
Remind me to look at what Jesus endured on the cross to help me to better understand the depth of Your love and care for me—so I might more fully trust You with my life and so that any sin of unbelief left in my heart would have to go.
Show me that when I anxiously try to carry my own worries and concerns—rather than giving them over to You and trusting You to take care of them all—I am rejecting Your love, walking away from Your care and discounting what Christ did for me.
May I never allow my circumstances to have control over me—never believe the lie that what I am facing cannot be overcome by You—and keep me on the path of life, joy and peace that You have set before me, so I can become everything You have called me to be.
May I always look to You in faith—the One who cares for me and controls all circumstances—patiently waiting for the good plans that You have made for me to unfold before me, as You work all things together for my good.
Help me to remember that when I give all my worries and cares to You, I am giving You a welcomed gift of my faith in Your abounding love for me.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
