Key Scripture: 1 Peter 5:7

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Devotional

Prayer invites us to release burdens we were never meant to carry. 1 Peter 5:7 reminds us that God cares deeply about what concerns us. Prayer becomes the place where anxiety is exchanged for peace.

Holding onto worry drains spiritual strength. When we cast our cares on God, we acknowledge our limits and trust His care. Prayer is not avoidance—it is surrender.

God does not dismiss our fears; He invites us to place them in His hands. Each burden released creates space for peace to grow.

Today, let prayer be your place of release.
