Cast ALL Your Cares on Him, For He Cares For You

I really thought I was doing a good job of letting go, and letting God. Today in my Bible Study I had to rate my level of worry on certain things. 1 being the least of my worries, 5 being "I worry about that often." Finances, Weight, Career, Parenting, Ability to Succeed, and My Future took the gold for my worries. What??? I thought I was doing good giving my day to God!

Peace characterizes the person who trusts God! Worry and exhaustion will take over and characterize the one who seeks to control and manipulate circumstances. Hmmm.....so why have I been so exhausted lately??? There's my answer!

"And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? So don't worry about these things, saying 'What will we eat? What will we drink? what will we wear?' These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs." (Matt. 6:30-32 NLT)

George Muller said, "The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith. The beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety."

I think its time I really lay my worries down at the feet of my Savior. That's what he wants. How could I have become so greedy with my worries when He has been there all along with His arms open wide, waiting for me to cast my cares on Him.

He is the first and the last. I need to give Him my in between. I am going to stop just singing songs about trusting Him and live like God is my source and sustainer. No more thinking that surely God has mistaken my abilities with someone else that can handle these tasks more efficiently.
