Cares

There is one verse that has been getting me through the past week... 1 Peter 5:7 "Cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you."
I remember my dad singing this verse to me when I was little, and as I sit in my apartment worrying about wedding plans, invitations, flowers, a job interview, my current job, birthdays, supper, schedules, sales, my dress, the weather, traffic, bills and a cold, the song runs through my head over and over. God cares for me. I can give Him all my worries, and, once I place them in His hands, I know that He will take care of me! I don't have to worry anymore. God has it under control.
How many times in my life will I have to struggle with handing control over to God? Cuz it is not easy at all. I know it will be hard for my whole life, but I also know I would be a fool not to give my worries to God! Do I really think I could handle the situation better?!

Be bold
Be strong
For the Lord, thy God, is with you.
I am not afraid.
I am not dismayed.
For the Lord, my God, is with me.
