Phillippians 4:6....be anxious for nothing but by prayer and thanksgiving make your request be known to Him and He will give you his perfect peace.....cast your care on Him without worry....
Rufus loved his old reclining chair, the one that sit on his front porch and provided him a nice place to spend summer evenings sitting and watching the traffic his small trailer home. When Ma made him give up the porch sitting and put the chair in storage, he asked cousin Felroy to keep it at his house down the road where it wouldnt be left out in the winter weather. But he found himself worrying about his favorite chair, and would call Felroy almost daily, to check on the old piece of furniture. Always asking Felroy if his chair was okay, Felroy finally asked him to take the chair home with him because if Rufus felt Felroy wouldnt care for it properly, he needed to just take care of it himself...
Jesus tells us to cast our cares upon him, but when we do that but still worry constantly about our problem we are doing what Rufus did about his chair. Leave it in the care of the Lord and dont fret over it anymore. Your favorite chair is out of the way of bad weather when it sits in the house of the Lord.
Dear Jesus, help me to give my cares to you in prayer in complete knowledge that You who cares for me will take care of my every need.
