In Christ I am: \u00a0CARED FOR
\n<\/u>casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.\u00a0 1 Peter 5:7 NKJV<\/em><\/p>\n

Believers, sometimes we get to thinking that no one cares about us.
\nIn this world, in our day-to-day life, we might encounter those who don’t really care, but we must remember that we are important to God.\u00a0 He cares for us.\u00a0 He is interested in everything we do, think, and say.\u00a0 He wants a close personal relationship with us.\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t want us worried, anxious, depressed, or burdened down that\u2019s why He wants us to cast our all our care upon Him.<\/p>\n

Casting means get rid of quickly or throw, therefore, it means God doesn\u2019t want us hanging onto any worries, anxieties, problems, negative thoughts, or burdens.\u00a0 He wants us to get rid of them quickly by throwing them off and on to Him.\u00a0 He knows better than us how to deal with those things anyhow.<\/p>\n

So, remind yourself daily that God really does care for you and wants you to walk with Him daily, free, un-hindered, and doing the good works He has prepared for you to do– joyfully.<\/p>\n

Start casting all those cares upon Him right away, every day, so you can be who you really are in Christ!<\/p>\n

Each time you cast, remind yourself that in Christ you are: Able, All Sufficient, Abounding in Grace, Abundant in Good Works, Appointed, Assured, Blessed, Brought Near and Cared For!<\/p>\n

What a wonderful God we have!<\/p>\n
