Once I start worrying, I can’t stop.  My mind easily runs to fear from peace.  I imagine the worst possible outcome will happen and believe I am doomed.  I waste time worrying and trying to fix things I can’t control.  My sleep suffers and I am unable to concentrate.  I feel out of control and want to stuff my anxieties with food.

1 Peter 5:7 is, “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”  (Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011).  God does not want me to worry. He desires I feel His peace.  I can experience this peace only by casting or giving all my fears to Him.  I already know worrying is a waste of time and makes me more stressed.  Sometimes, I find it hard to let go of my worry.   When I get tired of pain that comes from being stubborn, I surrender my fears to God.  He find solutions to my problems that are better than I can imagine.
