1. We must cast our daily cares upon Him.
Each day brings fresh cares, more or less, which wake with us every morning. We do not need to borrow trouble from tomorrow, for sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Those of you who are heavily involved in the world's business often carry your cares with you all day. Though you may keep them to yourselves, they are always present—sitting with you, rising with you, going out with you, and coming in with you. These burdens are often greater than those around you can perceive. Some, because of the weakness of their spirits, can hardly make decisions without fear and trembling.
Let this burden be cast upon the Lord, trusting that His providence extends to all your affairs, to every event that concerns you, and even to the smallest and seemingly most accidental circumstances. Believe that your times are in His hand and all your ways are under His control. Trust His promise that all things work together for good to them that love God, and then commit everything to Him, trusting Him to do what seems good in His sight. Rest satisfied in having done so, and resolve to remain at peace. Bring your cares to God by prayer in the morning. Lay them before Him, and then demonstrate throughout the day, by the composed and cheerful state of your spirit, that you have left them with Him—just as Hannah did. After she prayed, she went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad (1 Samuel 1:18).
Commit your way to the Lord, and then submit to how He chooses to dispose of it, even if it crosses your expectations. Rest in the assurance God has given you—that He will care for you as tenderly as a loving father cares for his child.
