“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:7

A woman once told her friend, “I don’t bring my small problems to God. I only talk to Him about the big ones.” Many of us do the same, believing that minor worries are ours to handle alone. We carry them day after day, only turning to God when things feel excruciatingly overwhelming.

This mindset reflects a deeply ingrained belief in self-sufficiency. Our culture often teaches us to “handle it ourselves,” but Jesus offers a different way. He invites us: “Come to me, all who are weary and weighed down with heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

Anxiety—big or small—is never ours to carry alone. What worries are you holding onto today that God is inviting you to release to his care today?
