1 Peter 5:7
In Peter’s first epistle, he writes; “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you”. One might ask the question, how do I throw my care upon the Lord? Of course, the language here is metaphorical! Peter doesn’t mean that we are to physically do this, that would be an impossibility. His language is figurative. We are to cast our care/burdens upon Him by committing them into His care by faith. We are to TRUST Him with our fears and anxieties, and when we do that, we don’t have to be anxious anymore because Father has got them. He cares for me!!! Oh, we’re awfully good at casting “some” of our cares upon Him, but that is not what the text says. It says for us to cast ALL our care upon Him — IT’S ALL OR NOTHING!!!! We are to cast all our care upon Him and to LEAVE them upon Him!!!
