“Casting all your anxiety on Him, becauseHe cares for you’ (1 Peter 5:7, nasb).  
There are many “fear not’s” in the Bible.  Some say there is a “fear not” for every dayof the year (this is not quite accurate, but there are many!).  
I think each “fear not” is for me because I am not a verybrave person.  I am intimidated byothers, terrified before speaking (even though I speak quite often), and afraidin dangerous situations (especially when in Goma, Zaire in 1994 working withone million Rwandan refugees, with 50,000 people dying in three days, peoplebeing slaughtered nightly, walking through the bodies each morning).
Recently I woke in the middle of the night afraid about thefuture of the country that I live in with its socialism, aggressive abortion,debt, jobless millions without hope of employment, and the economy and moralitygoing down daily.  Fearing in how are we inmissions going to support the work around the world.  It was good to be challenged in1 Peter that fear and worryis a source of pride.  We think we are incharge when the terrible situation we face in the world can only be handled byGod.  Even in a dangerous, difficult,sinful world, God will take care for His own.
“Casting all your anxiety on Him, becauseHe cares for you’ (1 Peter 5:7, nasb).   So, dear friend, let’s do that today.  Let’s cast our fear, anxiety, worries on God,because He cares for us as His children.
