1 Peter 5: 7

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Aren’t you glad that God has not left us alone to deal with the heavy things in life?

This verse in 1 Peter 5, is a formula for getting rid of anxiety.

I’ll bet if we gave the challenges we have over to God, instead of trying to carry them ourselves, we’d have fewer anxiety disorders in this world than we do.

The literal translation of 1 Peter 5: 7 is…. “Unload your distresses upon God”

Picture in your mind if you would, a dump truck.

The driver pulls the lever or pushes a button, and all the stuff he’s been carrying, is dumped.

We were never meant to be crushed by the stuff we think we have to carry.

Maybe we should push the button of trust or pull the lever of faith more than we do?

Got something heavy going on in your life?

I think it’s time we unload all of it….
