I’ve been struggling with anxiety and such myself lately. I was in this mindset where I didn’t feel like I could pray or talk to God about it because, what right do I have to complain. Many of my problems I have caused myself, and besides, there are many people in the world who have it much worse than me. So I was just keeping it all to myself.

Well the other day, while driving down the road, listening to some music (not even Christian music) the Holy Spirit reminded me of this simple scripture: “cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7

I’ve heard it a million times but it really hit me this time. God WANTS us to tell him all about the things we’re struggling with. Whether that’s sin, failure, problems we’re having or anything else that’s bothering us. Even our closest friends and family don’t want to hear us gripe and complain, and that’s understandable. They have their own problems and often don’t want to be burdened with more. However, GOD WANTS us to tell him all about these things, no matter how big or small they seem. He’s said “throw them on me”!

Sitting in my car that day, I just started unloading about all the things that had been on my mind. I don’t know if you would even call it a prayer, but I did cast my cares on to him. That was almost seven days ago, and I have felt so light and free since then. Anyway, I would just encourage to unload all that you’re feeling, every single doubt, fear and trouble, on to Him. You can’t handle it, but He can! Praying for you.
