Casting All Your Cares...

Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.--1 Peter 5:7


The casting part...

See Hannah's example in 1 Samuel 1:10-18

And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the Lord and wept in anguish. --1 Samuel 1:10

and David's

Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.--1 Samuel 30:6

and David's again:

I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.
14 Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!--psalm 27:13-14

Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass--Psalm 37:5

Matthew 6:34  Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.  Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Psalm 55:22  Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain the: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Psalm 56:3-4  What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.  In God I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do to me.

Phil 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  

(I love that!!  Don't be careful...literally full of cares...for anything...sometimes the King James says it best!

Hebrews 13:5-6 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.  So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

for He cares for you.

The caring about you part...

The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry.--Psalm 34:15  

I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me:  refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. --Psalm 142:4-5   

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.  Are ye not much better than they?--Matthew 6:26

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.--Matthew 6:33  

And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?  And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still.  And the wind ceased, and there was great calm.--Mark 4:38-39  

Fear not little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. --Luke 12:32 

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.--John 10:11  

The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.--John 10:13
