Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
I love when the Bible echoes itself and makes SURE we understand. A couple of weeks ago, the verse was from Psalms, and it mirrored this one. “Give all your cares to the Lord…” “Cast all your anxiety on him…”
I think God’s message is pretty clear. He wants us to give it ALL to him.
“…and he will give you strength” “…because he cares for you”. He will carry us and he loves us. It’s hard to argue (not that we would?), when we realize how much He wants us to GET this.
So, today’s focus? Casting it ALL at Jesus’ feet and letting him love me through whatever is causing fear, anxiety, stress, turmoil. It’s all ON HIM, not me.

“Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.“
I am so thankful for No Fear Fridays, because almost every week, I think “Wow, it’s been A WEEK!” There are so many things happening these days that cause stress, anxiety, concern, exhaustion… and No Fear Fridays have become a way for me to stop each week and REALLY think about what God’s promises are for me in the midst of ALL the things. This week’s verse was perfect for my Friday. (I have these verses already planned out in a list for the entire year, and it seems like each week the verse is JUST RIGHT for my mood, my fears, my life).
So, this verse is from a chapter in Deuteronomy where Moses is telling the Israelites that he (Moses) won’t be moving on with them to the Promised Land. He is naming his successor who will lead the people now – Joshua – and reminding the people that even in this time of transition, God will be there. God will go with them and he will NOT leave them or forsake them. They can TRUST, be strong, have courage and NO FEAR.
There are a lot of “best” things about our God, but one of the best of the best is that He never changes. He is steadfast and faithful, and He is the same God who was with the Israelites then… and who is with US now. So, although these words were given thousands of years ago, they apply to us too. God is WITH us. He GOES with us through all that we go through. He will NOT leave us nor forsake us. You and I can be assured of this, and hold on tight to God’s promise.

Give all your cares to the Lord and He will give you strength.
He will never let those who are right with Him be shaken.
Psalm 55:22
This week’s No Fear Friday scripture is such a simple, but powerful one. Our strength comes from God. He gives us what we need, when we turn over our cares and troubles. I like the small but important word “all“. Give ALL your cares to Him. Not some of them. ALL. For a type A, first born, high achiever this one is a hard one for me. I keep thinking I can fix things in own strength. And that would be a hard NOPE. I can’t. Thankfully God says, “give it to me, I’ve got it”.
