The Father Cares for You - we often keep our burdens to ourselves because we either do not believe anyone else can or will help, or because we are too ashamed or proud to allow anyone to assist us. But the Lord knows us and our needs, and He still loves us and wants to be our burden-bearer. It brings great peace to simply know that there is Someone who cares. He is our peace, and He willingly takes our burdens upon Himself if we will only place them in His hands

"... casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." - 1 Peter 5:7

Ephesians 2:14 teaches us that “He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation.” 

Jesus’ death removed the barrier that separated us from the Father; His death now guarantees us the right to cast our cares upon Him. 

We often keep our burdens to ourselves because we either do not believe anyone else can or will help, or because we are too ashamed or proud to allow anyone to assist us. 

But the Lord knows us and our needs, and He still loves us and wants to be our burden-bearer. 

It brings great peace to simply know that there is Someone who cares. 

He cares about you so much that He sent His Son; He broke through all the “red tape” to get to you! 

He is our peace, and He willingly takes our burdens upon Himself if we will only place them in His hands. 

Where are your burdens today? 

In His hands or yours?

The Apple of God's Eye - God calls His people the “apple of His eye.” The "apple" is the pupil of the eye. We instinctively protect and cherish our eyes, perhaps more than any other part of our bodies. As Christians, we are the apple of God’s eye. Just think about that … we are God’s highest priority of His creation … made in His image. He protects us, cares for us, and cares about us. We are cherished by the God of the universe

God Sees Our Tears - God sees and cares about every tear that falls. Whether we receive the object of our desire or not, the promise of God’s presence is the greatest gift He gives - it will never be taken from us. Hannah shows us that engaging with God in faith requires open hands both to receive and to surrender. Through Hannah’s story of supplication and surrender we find that even tears sown in bitterness can become seeds of redemption

The Creator of All Cares about You - the world is an uncertain place where change takes place on a daily, moment by moment, basis. It’s not easy to go through the experience, but with Christ you can take this opportunity to grow and get closer to Him. God, our Father, never changes and He cares for each one of us and our everyday life. He will never leave you nor forsake you. The Creator of all is in control of your life. Don’t give up. With His help you can overcome and have the victory on this situation
