Day 5: Casting Your Cares on Him - Women's Daily Devotional

Key Verse for today "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." — 1 Peter 5:7

Devotional: Stress can feel overwhelming. The weight of responsibilities, worries, and unexpected challenges can leave us feeling worn out and stretched thin. But in these moments, God invites us to do something powerful: to let go and give our burdens to Him.

In 1 Peter, we’re reminded to "cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." God’s care for us is deep and personal. He isn’t distant or disinterested—He is right there, waiting to carry our burdens. When we cast our cares on Him, we’re choosing to trust that He is in control, even when life feels chaotic.

Casting our anxieties on God doesn’t mean pretending our problems don’t exist. Instead, it’s an act of faith, acknowledging that we can’t handle everything on our own. It’s an invitation to surrender, to let go of what we can’t control, and to find peace in knowing that God holds our lives in His hands.

Reflection & Prayer Prompt: Take a moment to identify what’s causing you stress today. Picture yourself giving each worry to God, one by one, and ask Him to replace your anxiety with His peace.

Prayer: Lord, thank You for caring about every part of my life. Help me to cast my anxieties on You and trust that You are in control. When stress overwhelms me, remind me to turn to You for strength, peace, and rest. Amen.
