Cast your cares on the Lord
and he will sustain you.
—Psalm 55:22
Is something troubling you or someone you love? Health gone bad? Marriage gone sour? Child gone haywire? Finances gone south? Hopes gone belly up?
Whatever is bothering you isn’t a minor matter. If others think so, they’re mistaken. If it concerns you, it concerns God: he is “watching everything that concerns you” (1 Peter 5:7 TLB).
God’s concern is theologized in grandiose words like omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent—meaning that God is aware enough and powerful enough and everywhere enough to listen to the prayers and care for the concerns of all his children at the same time, wherever they may be.
He knows. And he cares
While facing what is against you,
don’t forget Who is for you.
