This from Jerry Savelle for today is something we have spoken of often at The Spoken Word Church, and something that we can never hear enough of!
Casting Your Care
Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:6-7 NKJV)
The word cast means to “throw off.” It is a decisive and deliberate action. Casting the care of your problems on the Lord (and not taking it back) isn’t always an easy thing to do. However, if you fail to cast your care on God as the Word instructs, you will hinder Him in exalting you above your circumstances or problems.
The Bible says the evil one seeks those he may devour, meaning those who allow him to do so. One of the ways you can allow the devil access to your life is by taking on the care of your situation to the point that you are consumed by it. Casting your care upon the Lord activates the power of God to work in and through your situation; it allows Him to bring miracles and victory.
God isn’t asking you to pretend your problems don’t exist; He just doesn’t want you to take on the care of them. To take on care means to constantly talk about the problem, think about the problem, and worry about the problem to the point that it appears there is no way out of the problem. God is a loving Father who is ready to help you in your time of need. Make the decision to cast your care upon the Lord today, knowing that He will exalt you at exactly the right time.
Confession: Father, I come boldly to Your throne of grace today and I cast every care that I have been carrying onto You. I humble myself now, trusting that You care enough about me to work everything out.
Realize that asking someone else to pray FOR you about the cares and worries will accomplish nothing but frustration! No one can cast these cares from you but YOU! WHEN you do, THEN the Spirit of God, Who lives in every believer, will show you the next step to total deliverance and victory in every area! AMEN! Never forget that the God of the Bible has said THIS about you who are "in Christ"! Romans 8:37-39:37 Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, 39 Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

AMEN! Go out in that victory that HE has gained for you and tell the world all about HIM! Here is Hillsong with "Tell The World":
Shalom in Him!
