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.
The remembrance of this word of Peter may help you to bring God into
everything.
He can manage and undertake for you far better than you can
for yourself.
There is no load of anxiety for yourself or others, no strait in which you can be placed, no perplexities that can harass and bewilder you-but the Lord bids you to cast it upon Him and leave it
trustfully in His hands.
The only way to obtain relief under the manifold cares that often encompass our path, is to cast them all on God.

We must bring them to our Father and leave them with
Him!
We must tell them out in the ear of our great High Priest and have
confidence enough in Him to know that He will not neglect that which we
commit to Him.
Casting all your cares upon Him, for HE CARES FOR YOU. Yes, this is our consolation.

Christ is the Friend who cares for us, thinks upon us, hears every sigh and groan, marks every tear, and knows every sorrow that weighs upon the mind.
Ah, it is a thought to cheer a believer at all times - what a Friend have I in Christ!

He is the Friend always near. Though banished far from home
and kindred, Christ is always by my side.
I cannot see Him, but I know
that He is here.
He has promised me, "I will never leave you nor forsake
you," and He will be as good as His Word.
Then I may add another thought: Christ is kinder than the kindest.

Could I gather together all the rays of kindness, pity, tender
love, that have ever glowed in the heart of a mother toward her child, of a bridegroom toward the bride, of a brother to brother, of a friend to friend...
All combined would be but as one tiny sunbeam, compared to that wondrous
love which is in the heart of Christ for His redeemed people!
Nor is it less comforting for me, to remember that He who cares for me is changeless in His faithfulness and love.
Oh, the marvelous sympathy, gentleness, loving-kindness which Christ daily shows me, and which I know will never cease!
Hence it is a most reasonable thing for me to cast all my cares on Him.

His presence, His kindness, His effectual power, His unswerving
faithfulness warrant me in leaving all in His hand.
Oh, that I may ever
have grace to flee to this refuge and hiding-place!
Oh, that every burden,
every fear, every foreboding, every jot and tittle of my daily anxieties,
may all be entrusted to His loving hand!
