worries

1 Peter 5:6 humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, & in His good time He will honor you

7 Give all you worries & cares to God, for He cares about what happens to you.


Here's what my Life Application Bible has to say about these verses...


"Carrying your worries, stresses, & daily struggles by yourself shows that you have not fully trust God with your life. It takes humility, however, to recognize that God cares, to admit your need, & to let others in the family of God help you.

"Sometimes we think that struggles caused by our own sin & foolishness are not God's concern. But when we turn to God in repentance, He will bear the weight even of those struggles.

"Letting God have your anxieties call for action, not passivity. Don't submit to circumstances but to the Lord, who controls circumstances."
