"Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." (1 Pet 5.7)
I'm studying through 1 Pet 5.6-11. In verse 7 Peter makes the assumption that we are going to have anxieties and worries. He doesn't say IF you have anxieties because he makes the (correct) assumption that you ARE going to have them, which he himself obviously had.
I like that. The Scriptures never assume that we are or have to be super saints. God understands who we are. He understands our weaknesses. He does not call us to perfection, he calls us to follow as we are, with our shortcomings, weaknesses, and anxieties.
Yep. You are going to have worries. Take them to the right place.
