1
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: Casting all your care upon him, for he careth for

2
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: you first Peter five seven. Dear Lord, you are trustworthy, caring,

3
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: and compassionate. You have broken down any wall that separated

4
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: me from you. I know I can trust you with

5
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: my burdens. I can trust you to take my anxiety, fear,

6
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: and doubt and replace them with peace. Today I place

7
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: my burdens at the feet of the cross and declare

8
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: victory over all that would seek to pull me away

9
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: from you. Take my burdens from me, Lord, or give

10
00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: me strength to bear them with courage and joy in Jesus' name. Amen,

11

36
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,600

Speaker 3: quiet setting, a place where your focus can be completely

38
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: on this moment of self reflection. Now close your eyes,

39
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 3: take a deep breath, and as you exhale, release the

40
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 3: thoughts floating around in your mind. Today we'll be meditating

41
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: on one Peter five seven from the King James version.

42
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: It reads, casting all your care upon Him, for He

43
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 3: careth for you. Now take a moment just to pour

44
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 3: out your adoration to God. I exalt you Lord, for

45
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: you are the great pastor, and you I want for nothing.

46
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: You make me lie down in green pastures. You lead

47
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: me besides still waters, and you refresh my soul. Your

48
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 3: rod and your staff they comfort me. I praise you

49
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 3: for your goodness and mercies shall follow me all the

50
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: days of my life. Let's be honest. Anxiety feels awful.

51
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: It it costs the mind and aggravates the heart. It

52
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: alienates you from others. It leads you to agonize over

53
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: things that are outside of your control. But God has

54
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: not called you to live this way. As real and

55
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 3: as strong as your feelings may be, they need not

56
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 3: hold power over you. You can overcome anxiety. You must

57
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 3: remember that you are not alone. God is real and

58
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: he cares for you. Let us now reflect for a

59
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 3: moment on the anxiety that seems to be overwhelming you.

60
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 3: Think of the situations that are causing you stress. Confess

61
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 3: to the Lord the issues that are keeping you up

62
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 3: late at night and stopping you, maybe from making the

63
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 3: most of your days. Let God into the areas of

64
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: your heart where his peace does not rain. Take a

65
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 3: moment now and thank God for his care over your life.

66
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 3: Thank Him for helping you overcome all your fears and concerns.

67
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 3: Thank Him for delivering you from all distress in despair.

68
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 3: Thank God for his peace and his reassurance. Thank Him

69
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: for setting you free from fear, from doubt, and from worry.

70
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 3: And thank God because he cares for you. Do not forget.

71
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 3: God is present and he's listening to you. Once again,

72
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 3: bring to mind those anxious thoughts. Ask God to bring

73
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: resolution to your conflict, to bring peace and reconciliation to

74
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: all areas of your life. Pray for God's peace over

75
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: your turmoil thoughts. Pray that his love would calm your

76
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: restless heart. Pray and ask the Holy Spirit for his assurance,

77
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: assurance that you were loved, cherished, and cared for. Remember

78
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 3: you can cast your anxiety on God because he cares

79
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 3: for you. So do not allow circumstances to rob you

80
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 3: of your joy. You only get to live this day

81
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: once will make the most of it. Trust in God's

82
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 3: love for you. Know that He's waiting for you to

83
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 3: reach out. Because God wants to bless your life with

84
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 3: his favor and his grace. You, my friend, are cared for.

85
