God, Help Me To Constantly Cast My Cares To You

52 Simple Prayers for 2018

It has been said that the only person whose problems are truly all behind him is a school bus driver. The truth is, everybody “gots” problems—lots of them! There are more than enough worries, anxieties and challenges to go around in this day and age. But that doesn’t mean you have to live life paralyzed by your problems. As Martin Luther said, just because the birds fly over your head doesn’t mean you have to let them build a nest in your hair. Nor do you have allow your problems to constantly weigh you down. God didn’t create you to live that way. So rather than holding onto them, cast them onto God. That’s what the Apostle Peter said. Cast all your cares on him. All of them! Big ones, for sure. And even the little ones. He will take them all, because he cares that much for you!

A Simple Prayer To Leave Worries Behind:

God, here they are—all of my problems. They are too big for me. I refuse to stay up late worrying over them one more night. Since you’re up anyway, why don’t you worry about them for me. (Of course, you don’t worry, since you are greater, wiser and stronger than anything that challenges me!) So I give them to you, and in exchange, by faith, I will rest in your care and receive your peace.
