We often try to carry our burdens alone and this weight is too heavy for us so Peter is telling us to cast all anxieties…that is every one of them…onto the broad shoulders of Jesus Christ. Why? Because He cares for us. He cares enough to carry what we cannot carry on our own. If someone wants to help us carry something, why don’t we? Especially if it is He Who is the God of the universe. What is too heavy for Him to bear? The answer is nothing. It is like a sorrow shared is halved but a joy shared is doubled. When I cast my cares upon Him, that means that I don’t have possession of them anymore.
Cast all your anxiety
