Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. —1 Peter 5:6-7.
You may have had a similar experience to this one. A friend asks you how you’re doing. At first, that friend seems interested in your answer. As you begin to share the burdens of your heart, you realize they aren’t listening and don’t appear to be interested in your answer. They’re just being polite. Most people have so many burdens that they don’t know what to do with any more. However, our heavenly Father reminds us to cast all our anxieties on him because he will sustain us (1 Peter 5:7). We can share our cares on the Lord because he will sustain us (Psalm 55:22). We can joyously praise our Savior because he daily bears our burdens (Psalm 68:19).
