Cast Your Cares
Handing God the weight.
Releasing what burdens you.
The big idea
You weren't built to carry it all — and you don't have to.
What does “Cast Your Cares” walk through?
Ask
Matthew 7:7 · KJV
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
In plain English
Ask — you'll be given. Seek — you'll find. Knock — the door opens.
Bring It to Him
Asking is permission to stop carrying it alone. Bring the weight to God.
Trust His Mercy
Psalm 13:5-6 · KJV
But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
In plain English
But — I trust in your mercy. My heart will celebrate again. I'll sing because you've been good to me.
Choose Trust
Even mid-struggle, you can choose to trust his unfailing love.
Pray
Lord, I cast my cares on you. Carry what I can't. Amen.
Write it down
What weight do you need to hand to God today?
