Cast Your Anxieties on Him
The Lord loves you so much that He wants to carry your cares and concerns for you. Therefore, 1 Peter 5:7 tells us to “cast” our anxieties upon Him. If you walk away from a time of prayer and you are still anxious then you did not cast your cares upon Him. Either they rest on His shoulders or on yours. Where are your anxieties today?

Cast Your Anxieties on Him (Out of Zion Episode #95)
Transcript
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,360
Well, the last couple weeks we've been talking about anxiety. And so this week
2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:10,860
I want to share with you just one more tip that the Bible gives us about getting
3
00:00:10,860 --> 00:00:16,320
rid of our anxiety. So welcome to this week's Shabbat Shalom devotional. When I
4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,600
try to share just a little inspiration and bring a little piece to the close of
5
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:27,240
your very busy week. So last week we talked about the importance of bringing
6
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:32,760
our list of concerns and petitions before the Lord and allowing Him to then
7
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:39,080
give us peace that permeates our hearts and our minds. And His peace is given by
8
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:46,360
the Holy Spirit. It could calm our fears and end our anxiety. Now today I want to
9
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:52,400
talk about how better to unload your concerns on the Lord in prayer. And I
10
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,880
want to quote with you one of my most favorite verses in the Bible because it
11
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:05,960
is so simple and it is so clear. It's in 1 Peter 5 verse 7. Cast all your anxiety
12
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:12,080
on Him because He cares for you. Now you may have heard that verse quoted as
13
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:18,520
cast all your cares upon Him or He careth for you. And that's because the
14
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:25,360
Greek word for care or concern is the same word for anxiety. Last week we talked
15
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,280
about the difference between having a normal care. We all have cares and
16
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:36,600
concerns. And when does it become anxiety? And that is when we allow fear and worry
17
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:44,400
to make us overly concerned. So this verse here says to cast all of your
18
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:52,680
concerns, all of your anxieties upon Him because He cares for you. Now I want you
19
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:58,600
to picture this, that when you are carrying your concerns and your fears
20
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:04,000
on your shoulders and you are experiencing anxiety, you need to take
21
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,680
them off and cast them upon the Lord. If you walk away from prayer and you're
22
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,960
still carrying those concerns on your shoulders, then you did not cast them
23
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:22,640
upon the Lord, either there on your shoulders or there on His. So this
24
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:27,400
weekend when you take a little break, I want you to come before the Lord with
25
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:35,120
your list of concerns and your cares. And I want you to physically see yourself
26
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:40,120
removing them from your shoulders and putting them on His. And why do we do
27
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:48,240
that? Because He cares for you. He wants to carry your concerns on His shoulders.
28
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:56,000
He wants you to be free of fear and worry and being overly concerned. So this
29
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,320
weekend be sure after you leave your time of prayer and Shabbat rest with the
30
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:08,640
Lord, do not pick up those concerns and put them back on your shoulders. Leave
31
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:16,080
them with Him because He cares for you. He loves you and He wants to carry your
32
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:24,360
burdens for you. And with that, I just want to wish you a Shabbat Shalom.
