I Peter 5:7

"Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you."
God loves us so much that He wants us give all of our cares, every one of them, to Him.
The Amplified Bible says that God loves us affectionately! It is so important that we not only believe this, but hold onto it everyday, so that no matter what happens, we give it to God and trust in Him to take care of it.
I used to wonder how God could love me so very much and everone else at the same time. I think that Satan used that to keep me from feeling God's love for me! Our human minds struggle to understand the omnipotence of God.
How does God love us all at the same time? How can He help us all at the same time? First of all He is love. God doesn't want us to feel afraid and upset about things, because He controls life, and He has a good plan for us all.
God went to great lengths to give us the chance to love Him back and spend eternity with Him. When we were sinners, He sent Jesus to make a way to be reconciled back to Him! His own Son died for the gift of salvation for us all!
God loves us so much He also gives us His Holy Spirit to teach and guide us, and to comfort us and give us joy. The Holy Spirit is God's power in us! He must love us a lot to give us such a priceless gift! Not only does He give the Holy Spirit to us, but He gives us each spiritual gifts through the Spirit, that are tailor made for each of us! God loves each one of us for who we are, and He knows what we need before we ever even need it.
God also made Jesus our Mediator, so that when we need something we can boldly go before Him for help. Before people had to go to a priest and ask them to petition God for them, but God's love abounded so much, He made an easier way.
God is in control of everything, and though bad things happen to us, we can have hope and faith because God did not leave us to fight this world alone! He NEVER leaves us EVER!
Anything we need, we can ask for in Jesus' name and God will help us!
Sometimes when we ask God for something and we don't get it, we think He doesn't hear us. What we must remember is that God knows all, and He also knows how to help us and will never leave us to fall.
My prayer for all who read this is that they come to realize the immense love that comes from God, and that they will be steadfast in their faith in God's willingness and ability to help in any situation. I pray that all will cast their cares onto their Heavenly Father and trust in His will for their life. In Jesus' Name, Amen!
