What does the Bible say about cast your cares?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches believers to place every burden, fear, and anxiety in God’s fatherly care, trusting His strength and faithfulness rather than carrying them alone. Psalm 55:22 and 1 Peter 5:7 call us to cast our cares on the Lord because He sustains and cares for His people. This trust is not denial of trouble: Jesus promises tribulation in John 16:33, yet also His overcoming peace. In prayer, with thanksgiving, believers bring their requests to God, and Philippians 4:6-7 promises His guarding peace. Isaiah 41:10 assures us of His presence and help, while Matthew 11:28 invites the weary to find rest in Christ.
