Anxiety Sparks Prayer

"Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you"
1 Peter 5:7

No matter how big or trivial, there's no distinction. It simply says 'all'. Feeling anxiety levels rise is a call to prayer. If we struggle in prayer, but are natural born worriers, we should have plenty of material to keep us going. In this, many, many things will be committed to the Lord in prayer. God always hears and God always responds.

This action of 'casting' also implies that we will no longer carry the weight of our anxieties. To throw something off we may need some strength. It suggests a perseverance in prayer. It suggests that we pray until we feel the burden lifted. A five second one-line prayer isn't always enough. Let's get on our knees.
