Day 18. Give your cares to God
Verse (King James Version)
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
1 Peter 5:7 (KJV)
Read
The verse gives a picture (throw it over) and a reason (because he cares). Worry is a heavy thing to carry around. You can hand it over every day, even if it comes back tomorrow, because the care is not a one-time offer.
