Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Phillipians 4:6

I love going to the beach early in the morning when nobody’s around. It’s always where I find peace and hear Gods voice clearly. No distractions. Just the relentless waves washing onto the shore.

It’s also in that quiet that I realize how much I’ve been carrying in my bag of anxiety. Before I lost my husband, we carried everything together and the load seemed so much lighter.

I’m reminded of Jesus’ words, “Casting all your cares on me for I care for you.” He never intended for me to carry any of it. He has always asked to carry everything for me.

So today I encourage you to hand over your bag of cares. Give it to Him and trust Him with them. Stop taking it back. Trust Him to deal with each challenge you face and each obstacle you face this week.

Father, I give it all over and believe You can handle everything I’m facing. There’s nothing too difficult for You. I’m forever grateful for Your provision. I love my journey with You. Each day’s an adventure and a treasure hunt with You. It’s in Jesus name and for Your glory. Amen
