Care for Anxieties

How do you find the care you need in the face of all your anxieties?
We live in anxious times. At baseline, life is filled with anxieties that can cause us deep distress and can bring out the worst in us.
When we are crippled by anxieties, we need a place to offload our troubles. We need to be able to place our anxieties at the feet of the one who cares deeply for us.
In his first letter, the Apostle Peter encouraged suffering believers, saying, “casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7, ESV).
Jesus cares for us and is strong enough to shoulder our anxieties. We can cast our anxieties onto him because he cares for us.
May we find the care we need in the face of our anxieties as we cast our cares onto Jesus, because he cares for us.
A Collect for Sabbath Rest: “Almighty God, who after the creation of the world rested from all your works and sanctified a day of rest for all your creatures: Grant that we, putting away all earthly anxieties, may be duly prepared for the service of your sanctuary, and that our rest here upon earth may be a preparation for the eternal rest promised to your people in heaven; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
