"If you are tired from carrying heavy burdens, come to me and I will give you rest."

"Cast your cares on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall."
Psalm 55:22
Our granddaughter is a patient fisher woman. In May, she wanted to go from a little rod and catching blue gill, to a large casting rod, hoping for a bass. The casting process took some effort. Likewise,
casting our cares on the Lord requires an intentional relinquishing action.
What is one burden, one worry you are willing to toss God's way and trust his mighty hand to handle?
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that He will lift you up in due time; cast all your anxiety on him because He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:6-7
