Casting Your Cares

 Evangelist Chris Miller

[Dealing with Anxiety]

1 Peter 5:5-11

God knows about your problems. God is in control. God cares.

I. THE CAUSE OF ANXIETY IS ULTIMATELY PRIDE (thinking you can handle it better than God)

II. THE CURE FOR ANXIETY IS ULTIMATELY HUMILITY [v. 6]

1) Humble Yourself by Submitting to Authority [v. 5]

2) Humble Yourself by Trusting the Almighty [v. 6]

3) Humble Yourself by Casting Your Cares [v. 7, Ps. 55:22]

4) Humble Yourself by Resisting the Devil [v. 8, James 4:7]

2 ways to cast our cares upon the Lord:

-Casting through prayer [v. 6, Ps. 42, 47, 62]

-Casting through giving over your thoughts [v. 8]
