“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. - 1 Peter 5:7
There were times in my
life I ran to my friends to share my sorrows and pain. But because of the joy
that resides in their heart at that moment they could not feel or care about
the pain I had in my life.
Today you might be
going through such moment where you feel that there is no one to care for you.
Do not worry. Jesus Christ cares for you. You might be having any kind of
anxiety or sorrow in your life. Cast it upon Him for He cares for you.
Bible doesn’t say that
‘Cast your anxiety on Him’. It says ‘Cast ALL your anxiety on Him’. You can
cast any kind of anxiety as well as all your anxiety upon Jesus Christ for He
cares for you. You might be anxious about your future marriage life. You might
be anxious about your studies, job and family life. You might be anxious about
your physical health. Do not get discouraged. You have an Everlasting God who
cares for you. Cast all your anxiety on Jesus Christ. He will give you peace
for He cares for you.
Many years ago, a
servant of God went to minister in a particular city. He had to preach continuously
for two weeks. As he had continuous meeting his health got affected and his
body became too weak. On the last day of the meeting he has to preach in the
evening. Once the morning service got over he thought that the people will come
eagerly for God’s word and so God has to give a good message and bless them.
With this thought he
went to church to pray for the evening meeting. He prayed for five minutes and
then without his knowledge he fell asleep. After some time he woke up hearing
sounds of prayer. Then he found that he slept for few hours. His heart was
filled with sorrow that he failed to pray well before preaching. He cried to
God telling how he will preach.
Finally as the time of
preaching came, he told to himself that he will pray and finish without
preaching anything. As he started praying, Holy Spirit came upon him mightily
and he preached God’s word with authority and power for nearly one and half
hours.
Many got blessed
through the message and once he finished preaching he ran to God’s presence and
asked God with tears that how could He did mighty things through him that day
though he didn’t prayed well. Then Lord spoke to him and said, “My dear son, I
know that you are tired and your body was so weak and you did My ministry continuously
for two weeks. I thought that you should take rest atleast for few hours and so
only I gave you a deep peaceful sleep.”
When that servant of
God heard the words of Jesus Christ he wept with thanks thinking how much care
Jesus Christ have upon His children.
My dear young friends,
Jesus Christ cared even for the simple tiredness of that servant of God. Even
today, He cares for you. Jesus Christ knows that you are facing a storm in your
life. He knows that you are facing a trouble in your work place and marriage
life. He knows your tiredness and weakness. You might have weakness in your
Spiritual life. Whatever might be your problem, cast all your anxieties upon
Jesus Christ for He cares for you.
There is no need for
you to carry the burden. Put it in the presence of God. Jesus Christ cares for
you and He will carry you. God bless you.
