He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

The Lord knows all His people, their persons, wants, and trials. He thinks to benefit, deliver, and supply them. He keeps His eyes on them in all places, at all times, and under all circumstances. He has them in His hand, and will not loosen His hold. He always sees them as His own: the objects of His love, the purchase of His Son’s blood, the temples of the Holy Spirit. They are precious in His sight.

He knows they are weak, fearful, and have many enemies. He teaches them to cast themselves and all of their anxieties into His hands, and He has given His word that He will care for them. He exercises a Father’s care. It is wise, holy, tender, and constant. Therefore, all will be well, only trust in Him. Believe that He cares for you on this day; carry all your concerns to Him with faith on this; leave all with Him, persuaded that He will manage everything by His infinite wisdom, and bring it all to a good outcome by His omnipotent power. Cast all of your anxieties on Him as fast as they come in. “Be anxious for nothing” (Phil. 4:6). “Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved” (Psa. 55:22).

Cast, He says, on me thy care,
‘Tis enough that I am nigh.
I will all thy burdens bear,
I will all thy wants supply.
