Cast it all on Jesus

"Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."   1 Thessalonians 5:16-18   NKJV

Sometimes, our lives can be very problematic and it feels like the problems of the world have invaded our minds. If it's not one thing, it is another. One after another these problems present themselves to us and it can be so overwhelming to be able to cope with them.

So therefore stop trying so hard. Peter tells us: 'Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you'  1 Peter 5:7. This doesn't mean we use Jesus has a crutch. What it does mean is, we are to allow Jesus to take the pressure out of every bad situation and let Him show us an easier way. He doesn't erase every bad thing that comes along but, He will become involved if you let Him. This is why we are directed to rejoice - always, not now and again but, through all situations, good or bad. 

We have our prayer line connected directly to His heavenly switchboard. There is no, 'Your call is special to us, so stay on the line and press the star button when directed.' Not at all, our call is answered by Jesus every time we call to Him. Our will is to rejoice in Him, pray to Him and give Him thanks. As we do this, we are blessed and built up in His Spirit.

What are you struggling with at this time? Well you have the formula right here. Don't be tempted to throw a wobbly when things go pear-shaped, instead follow the formula very carefully. It will work because it is God's plan and He never lies. He may make you wait because He watches how you react. As He sees you comply, He puts the next bit into operation. The old saying, 'Rome wasn't built in a day,' is quite right here. God never races ahead. He has no stress; He knows the answer and the outcome before it has ever happened. So if He has it all worked out, surely then, there is no need to worry or panic. God is in charge.

Cast all of your care upon Him, not a bit of it. Just trust Him to help you right now - yes you!. He knows what is happening to you and His word is 'Don't worry, all will be well.'

So just relax and follow the formula
