How to Give Your Anxiety to God?
Giving anxiety to God means deliberately choosing to release what you're holding onto and trusting Him with it. First Peter 5:7 says to cast — actively throw — all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
What Scripture Says
"Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you."
1 Peter 5:7"Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken."
Psalm 55:22"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;"
Proverbs 3:5"Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will act."
Psalm 37:5Going Deeper
The word 'cast' in 1 Peter 5:7 is not passive — it's the same word used for throwing a net or a garment. It's an active, deliberate choice to take what you're gripping tightly and throw it onto God. This might look like praying, 'God, I'm handing this to You. I choose to trust You with it even though I want to keep controlling it.' You may need to cast the same worry ten times in a day, and that's okay. Each time, He receives it gladly.
