Have you ever found a knot in something and it's been so tight you just can't undo it? Well sometimes we get those kind of knots in our insides! God calls them worries and cares but goes on to tell us what to do with them.
When we identify what we're worrying about then we can bring it to God and give it over to Him. We can be really honest with Him because He knows we're worrying about it already so it wont come as any surprise to Him!
When we give it to Him that's when we cast our care and we let it go. If we're still worrying, we haven't cast the care and we're not trusting Him to deal with it.
But if you gave it to God who has it now? God does, because you let it go and now He's got it in His hand. So, when the enemy comes and says "what are you going to do about such and such ...?", we can say '"Go and speak to God about it, because I don't have that care any more since I gave it to Him to deal with!"
When God tells us to cast our cares and give all our worries to Him, He wants us to have a picture in our minds of literally handing it over and putting it in His powerful hands. Then we see ourselves leaving His presence without them, care free and at peace about it. We have to resist the temptation to run back in the room and grab them back out of His hands. Let them go, knowing you can trust Him to deal with them.
We've all been raised to think it's irresponsible to be care free, that we should worry about stuff thinking 'If I don't worry who will?' But actually God says the opposite! So who are we going to believe? Are we going to trust and obey?
We know our worrying wont change a thing for the better, but rather can cause us to feel poorly. So can I encourage us all to hand them over to our loving Heavenly Father remembering He's running the universe so He's more than able to take care of our worries too.
God doesn't want to see us weighed down with cares. He's told us to let Him do it so let's do some 'letting go' today and enjoy His peace.😊
