Give It to God—He Cares for You
Scripture:
“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”
— 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)
Encouraging Message:
As parents, we carry our children in ways they’ll never fully understand. Whether they’re toddlers learning to walk or adults navigating life’s ups and downs, our love doesn’t change. When they’re hurting, we feel it deeply.
Now imagine this—we are ALL God’s children.
And when we hurt, He feels it too.
I have five children, and I’ve experienced seasons when more than one of them was struggling at the same time. One may have needed emotional support, another might’ve had health challenges, and the others needed guidance and strength. As their mother, I felt torn—stretched in every direction—trying to show up fully for each one.
But God?
God is limitless.
He is not stretched thin. He is not overwhelmed. He doesn’t grow weary. He tends to every one of His children—at the same time—with full attention, love, and grace.
That’s the kind of Father we serve.
He’s not just able—He’s willing.
He cares for you deeply. When life feels heavy, you don’t have to carry it alone. God is always ready to take the weight off your shoulders. All He asks is that you give it to Him.
A Sacred Reminder:
Sometimes we hold on to our worries out of habit.
We think, “If I don’t worry, it means I don’t care.”
But the truth is: Worry is not care. Faith is care.
When you cast your cares onto God, you are saying, “Lord, I trust You to do what I cannot.”
And He will.
Reflection:
What anxieties are you still holding onto today that need to be released?
How would your day look different if you truly believed God is already working on it?
Journaling Prompt:
Write a letter or prayer to God, naming each specific worry.
After each one, write: “God, I give this to You because You care for me.”
Close your journal with gratitude: “Thank You for carrying what I no longer have to.”
Closing Prayer:
Father, thank You for caring about everything that concerns me. I lay my worries at Your feet—my family, my future, my finances, my fears. I release the weight and walk in peace, knowing that You are working on my behalf. I trust You. I love You. I give it all to You.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
