1 Peter 5:7 — 'Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.'
The verb is forceful. Cast. Hurl. Throw like you're getting rid of something heavy you don't want to carry another step. This isn't gentle handing over. It's flinging.
And the scope is total. All your anxieties. Not the spiritual-sounding ones. The petty ones. The financial ones. The 3 a.m. ones you don't tell anyone. All of them go.
But the reason you can throw is the second half. He cares for you. Not just for the world in general. For you, by name. The God who runs the universe is bent toward you with attention.
And this isn't a one-time prayer. Tomorrow new anxieties will show up. Cast those too. Make it a rhythm. The arm gets stronger the more you throw.
