Anxiety

Cast all your anxiety on him [God] because he cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7)

This one is too appropriate for me today. It's been one of the longer days for me - feeling worry and stress over things that are too small. Trying to remember that God cares isn't always easy to do. After all, why should He take time to look at my problems? Stress over a situation at work, a late subway, a messy apartment, an unexpected bill, or car breakdown. These are not huge deals. Think of all the other things in the world - war, famine, floods. Those are SO much more important to Him. But the truth is, those things aren't. He loves us all and wants to protect us all evenly. We have to pray, love Him, care for Him, turn our lives over, turn everything over. That's not saying that God will make everything turn out the way we want or the easy way, but He will be there to love, protect, and care for us in our darkest day and happiest moment. Just remember to praise Him for all he does, not just when things are good. Easier said than done.....
