Today's cares

Please join me today in honoring the word of God.  In I Peter 5:7 the Bible tells us to cast your cares (worries/concerns) upon Him for He careth for you.  Wow, how awesome is He!  This means that we can have a good Friday and thank Him for it.  I sometimes say this scripture as I take my hand and brush my arm in a gesture of brushing something off of my sleeve.  By doing this, I am casting my cares on the One who does care.  Now this doesn't mean that once I have done this gesture that I don't bring the issue back to my thoughts.  I will only allow the thought to be remembered and then remind myself that I have given it to God and I know without a doubt that He will determine the outcome.  I've had to explain this process to my daughters to make them understand that it's not that I don't care for them or the issues that they may be experiencing but I am doing it out of obedience to God.   Of course, prayer is an immediate source of my cooperating with casting my care upon Him.  I continue in prayer asking that the Lord give me strength to not try and go back into the very thing I gave Him.  In saying this, please give God the chance of helping you out with your worries and concerns for today.  After you have done this only a few times, it will become automatic and you will have a more peaceful day.
