“Casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7).
Many times we carry burdens too heavy to bear alone. Life seems full of worries that divide us and steal our peace. But the Lord invites us to lay everything before Him. When we surrender our problems to the Father, our hearts find rest. He takes care of every detail, and instead of living anxiously, we can move forward with calm and confidence.
And this confidence becomes firm when we choose to obey the great Law of God and His magnificent commandments. They remind us that we do not need to live bound by the anxieties of the world, because we have a Father who rules over all things. Obedience is the path to true peace, for those who walk faithfully according to His commandments are led to deliverance and salvation. The Father does not send rebels to the Son, but rather those who trust and surrender to His will.
So, release your burdens. Place everything in the Lord’s hands and live in obedience. The Father blesses and sends to the Son those who keep His splendid Law. Thus, as you walk faithfully, you will be led to peace and eternal life in Jesus. Adapted from Robert Leighton. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows.
Pray with me: Beloved Lord, I come to You with an open heart, bringing the burdens and anxieties I cannot carry. I trust that You care for me and that nothing escapes Your sight.
Father, help me to walk in obedience to Your great Law and Your magnificent commandments. I want to cast my worries on You and live in peace, knowing that Your ways are perfect.
Oh, dear God, I thank You because in You I find rest. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is a refuge of peace for the soul. Your commandments are firm foundations that sustain my life. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
