I can throw my worries on God, because He cares about me.

A Bible affirmation for overthinking, rooted in 1 Peter 5:7.

Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

1 Peter 5:7 · BSB

Reflection

Peter's word for cast is the same one used when the disciples threw their cloaks onto a colt for Jesus. He isn't telling you to hold anxiety more loosely. He's telling you to put the whole weight on Someone who cares for you.

A prayer

Lord, I'm putting the whole weight of this on You. Thank You for caring about me.
