'Tis the first of many exam days. I call them blessed in Jesus's name!
Did you know that when you cast all of your cares to the Lord, you will unstopper His grace in your life?
I'm not asking you to be full of cares. Neither am I asking you to care nothing about what your life is like. Instead, just be care-free!
Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall. (Psalm 55:22)
Do you know what is the best way to cast your cares onto God? Why, by praise, of course! Think about it. Can you listen to your teacher if you are thinking about what to eat for lunch later? Can you pay attention to two things at once? Similarly, you will cease caring about all your burdens when you shape them into prayers using praise! But don't trust any spiritual advice unless it is rooted in Scripture. So here's Philippians 4:6-7 from The Message Bible:
Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
