Listen
to the Word Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he
may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him, because
he cares for you.(1 Peter 5:6-7)

Peter says the most important antidote to anxiety is the simple fact
that God cares for you. If God doesn't care, then you have reason
to be anxious. If God sees the bad things that happen in your life
and says, "Big deal, I've got six billion more, and I can always make
another," then get used to the stress. But if God cares enough for
birds to make sure they are well fed, is it at least remotely possible
He will take care of you? You don't have to worry, because your
Creator is watching out for you. You don't have to be full of
cares, because God cares for you.
