Cast Your Cares

Does it ever seem to you there are so many needs that crop up all at once? Not only in your own life, but in others as well?  Perhaps there are many needing a miracle in their life. A physical healing, financial needs, emotional healing, and so on. 
During this season of Thanksgiving I feel so much more aware of the miracles I have seen in my own life, and also the needs that many have currently. But what we do with that awareness is the key.
The Bible tells us how we can better deal with some of these issues.  
Philippians 4:6-7- Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. (HCSB)
During this season of Thanksgiving is the perfect time to get into the habit of turning our worries into prayer.  Can you imagine the miracles we would see and the lives that would be changed if we were persistent with this?  Actually it is quite exciting to think about how God would move in our lives when we put our trust in Him more. 
There is another verse that tells us this also.
1 Peter  5:7 casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. (AMP)
Wow, what a statement!  All of our concerns! All of our worries! 
Then the Scripture tells us how much He loves us. With deepest affection!
And He watches over us.  Oh my goodness, those words alone encourage me so very much. Those words make me want to leap for joy at the thought of how much Jesus loves me. 
So faithful readers, I want to encourage you, no matter what your circumstance, what miracle you need, no matter what your worries are, our Lord Jesus wants to carry those burdens for you. He lovingly wants to lift that weight off of your shoulders. We do not have to endure our trials alone. Jesus is right here with me, and with you.
Lift those burdens off of your shoulders and hand them over to Jesus. I promise you, you will feel the relief. It is hard to do sometimes, but put your trust in Jesus, turn those worries into prayer. And watch the miraculous occur. 
I have a song to share with you this week to encourage you.
