Introduction

Welcome, dear friends, to this sacred gathering, this hallowed assembly of believers, where we convene to commune with our Heavenly Father. We find ourselves ensnared by worries and fears, don't we? We are all too familiar with the gnawing anxiety that keeps us awake at night, the relentless stress that hounds our days, the persistent dread that lurks in the shadows of our hearts. Yet, we are not alone in this struggle. The Word of God, the divine compass for our lives, calls us to cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares for us.

Believing in God's Burden-Bearing Love

The love of God is not a passive emotion. It is active, dynamic, and burden-bearing. It is a love that steps into our struggles, carries our burdens, and walks with us through the darkest valleys of our lives. This is the love that we are called to believe in, the love that we are called to lean on, the love that we are called to rest in.

It is a love that bears our burdens, a love that carries our worries, a love that shoulders our anxieties. This is the kind of love that we find in 1 Peter 5:7, where we are called to cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares for us.

This is a call to an active faith: It is a call to actively cast our anxieties on Him, to actively trust in His love, to actively rely on His strength.
