Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. 1 Peter 5:7 Amp

Be still your heart and know that whatever today brings you—good or bad, everything is coming together as it should. That is why we must not worry about things outside our control and instead handle what we can and cast the rest on Jesus. His word tells us to cast our cares because he cares for us.

Jesus is concerned about every aspect and detail of our lives. Not some things but everything. He wants us to acknowledge how far-reaching his love and care are. He wants us to not worry but instead give our all to the things we can do and then exercise our faith over the things we cannot.

…and if you forgot, the next set of words is your reminder…

Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. Hebrews 11:1 Amp

Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen, and so we must trust in God’s love for us, knowing that our lives are being played out as they should. We must also have faith that our lives will be redirected if we fall short or veer off the path we should be on. 

God loves us and just wants us to recognise this love. He wants the best for us, but His best cannot come if we constantly try to be our means to our end or, put simply, we try to control our outcomes. In a world filled with uncertainty, our certainty rests in God’s love for us; and the hope Jesus’ dying on the cross gives us.

Trust in God; He is making everything work for our good. Believe that, then exercise your faith in that knowledge.
