"CASTING ANXIETY"

The following is an excerpt from my journal to bless you and to give you an example of how I interacted with the Lord through it.

1Pt. 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

Thank you Father for that wonderful reminder from Peter that you care for me and that you want to receive all my anxiety from me. Thank you for loving me through his words of encouragement.

Mark, now hear those words from my heart to yours: Mark, please cast all your anxiety on ME because I care for you. Don't gather up all your concerns before you so that they weigh down your heart. I will help you discern what you are responsible for today and after that, give the rest of your concerns to me. For you are precious and honored in my sight and I love you so let me care for you today (Is. 43:4). Remember, do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own (Mt. 6:34). Instead, seek first my kingdom and I promise you that all these things will be given to you as well(Mt. 6:33). If I take care of the birds and the grass, HOW MUCH MORE will I take care of you! (Mt. 6:26,30).

Father, I do feel overwhelmed by the many unfinished aspects of starting this ministry. Thank you for reminding me of your heart for me, your promise to me, and how valuable I am to you. I will trust you Lord. You're the BEST!
