1 Peter 5:7

We all have tough times; no matter how much we might have our act together, tough times will come. When times are tough for whatever reason, and there can be many causes, our Lord will stand by our side.

So, there we are, feeling the weight of difficulty, feeling the anxiety that trouble can cause us. It’s hard to rest, it’s hard to think about anything clearly; we feel like the walls are closing in on us… We’re trapped.

Yet our Lord is right there with us.

We search for a way out, yet we feel a growing sense of hopelessness- will this ever end?

Our Lord is right there with us. I’m not exactly sure about this, but I suspect that He is right there with us, wondering when we will turn to Him…

The teaching of Scripture is clear on this; it speaks of this kind of situation all through both the Old and New Testaments.

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

1 Peter 5:7

The only question is: Will we turn our anxieties over to Him, or will we continue to struggle on our own?

Just think about it: The God who created the Universe and everything in it cares for YOU. He will take your anxieties from you if you will entrust them to Him and let go, and help guide through your cares.

If you will trust Him and let go.

That’s pretty amazing, if you ask me.
