1 – He Cares for You | 21 Days of Prayer 2025

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7

My wife was mostly raised by her single mom, who was a hard worker and incredible woman. So by the time I met her in college, she had a deeply ingrained work ethic and sense of independence.

So that meant that when I tried to offer to carry her books for her, she scoffed at me. And when I would walk faster to try and open the door for her, she would smile at me while she opened the door for herself.

You see, I was trying to carry things for her that she didn’t view as burdens. She didn’t need my help (and, truthfully, she didn’t need me trying to charm my way into her good graces, but that story is for a different time).

Peter tells us to cast our anxieties on the Lord because he cares for us. Unlike my story above, all of us are carrying things that ARE too heavy for us to handle on our own.

And the longer we try to carry our worries and our stress and our anxieties by ourselves, the more we feel isolated and weighed down.

But God WANTS you to hand them over to him, because he cares deeply for you.

So let’s practice that right now.

Do This: Right now, name out loud 3 specific worries weighing on you and tell God, “I give this to You.” Spend 2 minutes casting those anxieties on Him.

Closing Prayer: Father, thank You that You care for me. I release my worries into Your hands.
