Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
CONTEXT
In this short letter, Peter gives Christians hope in the midst of unjust suffering. He tells the recipients of his letter that his message is intended to testify to the true grace of God. Stand fast in it (1 Peter 5:12).
MEANING
If we are to stand fast in the true grace of God, what does that mean for us when we are going through a heart-pounding season of worry or anxiety?
First, lets turn back the clock and remember an important truth about Peter. He wasnt just a spectator to the life of Jesus. He walked with him. He learned from him. He ate with him. He walked on water toward him. Notoriously, he denied him. And ultimately, he was embraced and forgiven by him.
All that to say, Peter spent a lot of time observing Jesus during his earthly ministry. That means Peter had firsthand knowledge of how our Savior not only withstood suffering himself, but how he took on our suffering as well.
Peter witnessed Jesus compassion for others. He saw Jesus cast out demons. And he could tell you some pretty fascinating stories about how Jesus calmed stormsnot just the ones on the sea, but the ones on the inside of real souls.
Thats the kind of storm-calming Jesus we find in todays versethe one who takes our fears and anxieties upon himself. In fact, Peter reminds us that when we are worried, we can do more than simply take our concerns to the Lord. We can cast them upon him! In the Greek, cast means to hurl, throw, or fling. When we cast our anxiety on God, it doesnt mean all our worries disappear. But it does mean that God will carry the load for usno matter what we throw at him.
Why would God do such a thing? Peter tells us why in todays verse:... because he cares for you.
APPLICATION
Do you ever feel like you dont know where to go with your anxiety and your worries? Maybe youve had someone tell you that the answer to anxiety is to simply stop worrying, as if anxious thoughts can be turned off with a switch.
But thats not how God operates.
God doesnt tell you to ignore your anxiety or to simply stop worrying. He doesnt say theres something wrong with you if you have anxiety. He is saying, Give it all to me. In fact, you can actually throw it all on me! Because I really do care about you.
ADDITIONAL READING
Psalm 55:22 Matthew 6:2530 Isaiah 49:15
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
CONTEXT
Philippians starts with a greeting from Paul to the church in Philippi, a prayer for Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. The book ends here with a reminder of that peace as bookends for some hard topics, like resisting false teachers and facing suffering. Since these letters were often read out loud to the whole church, Paul wanted these thoughts to be among the last words the believers heard.
MEANING
Every time a fear surfaces in our minds, we have two choices: dwell on our worry, or give it up to God in prayer. Paul tells us that trusting God with our anxiety is the better way, no matter what: about anything and in every situation covers it all. Theres no fear that you cant take to God to be replaced with his peace.
This peace isnt a general calm with no troubles. Its an active peace; it guards both our hearts (emotions) and minds (thoughts). Thats military language, like the Psalms describing God as our defender and shield against enemies. When we pray, we arent just comforted; were protected.
Besides that, Gods peace transcends all understanding. Our human minds cant explain it or even fully grasp it. If youve ever seen fellow believers choose to trust God in the middle of terrible suffering and wondered how they were able to do it, youve seen this amazing peace at work.
How can we know this is true? Just before this passage, in verse 5, Paul reminds us, The Lord is near. Not far off in a distant heaven, blissfully unbothered by human troubles and only able to be reached by a few super-spiritual people, but near. When we pray, God hears us, because hes always close by.
APPLICATION
So often we believe its up to us to be strong and fight anxiety. But here, Paul tells us that it is God who guards us and gives us peace. Yes, we have a part to play, but its not making a list, gritting our teeth, and trying harder.
Its turning constantly to prayer in every moment of fear, choosing to be thankful, and resting in the peace God gives through Jesus. Challenge yourself to put this into practice by praying short prayers for peace when your instinct is to worry instead, and thank God for being close enough to hear and loving enough to care.
ADDITIONAL READING
Psalm 97:1011 Psalm 145:18 Ephesians 2:13
Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
