Daily Bible Verse and Devotion – 1 Peter 5:7

Have you noticed that life can get stressful? There are days when you have way more to do than what you can handle on your own. Maybe you’ve got so much homework, chores, and responsibilities that the weight of them seems overwhelming.

Perhaps you struggle with all the drama at school and feel like no one gets you or understands. Life can be really tough sometimes, but here’s the truth:

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. – 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)

What do I like about this verse? It’s the reminder that He cares. He cares that you feel overwhelmed. He cares that the drama at school or home seems overwhelming. That’s because He’s a God of love who cares about the most intimate details of your life.

And because He cares, He wants you to not have to lift those cares and worry alone. He wants to help you, walk with you, and be the one to carry your concerns.

So today, put them on Jesus. Let Him be the one you trust with your worry and care. And know that He’s there to help you each step of the way.
