The kinds of care we have



We are more concerned about things than about God’s will for us. We will never have peace by acquiring things. We will have peace only by being in God’s will. When we become anxious due to wanting possessions or from concern over how to pay for them, our faith in God diminishes and we miss the peace of God


In our hurried state we allow ourselves to be pressured into hasty decisions and actions - we feel we must make a decision immediately, and then later we realize it was not that urgent after all. When we are in league with God, we can afford to wait for His perfect time.

We are constantly tensed because of unrest in our souls. We need to know that it is faith that brings answers to prayers.

There is only one scenario
either casting all of our cares upon God, or keeping all of our cares for ourselves.

Matthew 6 : 33
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matt. 6:33).

Philippians 4 : 6,7;
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
