CAST YOUR CARES UPON THE LORD (2)

TIMES OF REFRESHING DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org

DATE: WEDNESDAY, 4 SEPTEMBER 2024

So, beloved, God invites us to cast our worries and burdens upon Him. This is not a mere suggestion to lightly share a few concerns but an encouragement to release all our anxieties into His capable hands. The word “cast” implies a deliberate action. It’s an act of trust, of letting go of control, and placing our faith in God’s love and power.

SCRIPTURE: Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)

REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: When we cast our cares on the Lord, we acknowledge that we are not alone in our struggles. God, in His infinite wisdom and compassion, is ready to carry our burdens and provide us with peace that surpasses all understanding. Stay Refreshed!

NOTE THIS: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).

RESPONSIBILITY: So, beloved, take a moment today to identify the worries and anxieties that are weighing on your heart. It may be a health concern, a financial struggle, or a relationship issue. Whatever it may be, take a step of faith and cast those cares upon the Lord. Speak them out in prayer, laying them at His feet.

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your incredible love and care for me. I acknowledge that I have been carrying burdens that are too heavy for me to bear alone. Today, I choose to cast my cares upon You, trusting in Your unfailing love and power. Help me to release my anxieties into Your hands and fill me with Your peace. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

PROPHETIC WORD: May the Lord remind us daily that He is with us, guiding and sustaining us through every challenge. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

BIBLE TEXTS: 1 Peter 5:7, Psalm 46:1
