We are to cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for us. God loves us so much that He wants to handle our problems for us. Worrying will destroy us and a product of the devil.
1 Peter 5:6-7
6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
There once was this lady who looked out her back door and saw her three children playing with three little skunks.
She shouted, “Run, kids, run!” And they did. Each one grabbed their little skunk and took off running.
So often we do that as Christians. We bring our problem to the Lord and say, “Here is the problem, Lord,” but when we get up, we take our stinky problem with us. We worry about it all night. When we keep worrying over it, then we still have possession of the problem. We need to leave the problem with God and walk away knowing that He has taken possession of it for us.
Or suppose you have a watch that doesn’t run. You take it to a jeweler and ask him to fix it for you. As you are holding it in your hand, you keep asking him when he is going to fix it. He replies, “When you give it to me.” If you have the watch (the problem) then He can’t fix it. But when He has the problem, you don’t have it anymore. It is foolish to worry over something you no longer have.
God cannot do anything about your problem until you give him possession of it by letting go then put your complete trust that He will take care of. If you are still worrying about it you haven’t given it to the Lord to take care of so He can’t do anything about it.
God cares about us and is our loving Father. Like our earthy father, God wants to take our problems upon Himself and take care of them for us. So start casting you cares upon Him, leave the worrying behind and trust Him to take care of it for you.
