Chapter 3
3 You Don't Have To Worry.....................................................
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let
your requests be made known unto God.
—Philippians 4:6Casting all your care upon him; for he
careth for you.
—1 Peter 5:7Casting the whole of your care—all your
anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns,
once and for all—on Him; for He cares for you
affectionately, and cares about you watchfully.
—1 Peter 5:7 (AMPLIFIED)
One evening after a service, a woman came to me and said,
"I want you to agree with me in prayer about something. The
burdens of life—the cares, the worries of life—are just so heavy
I can't bear them."
She began to cry. With sincerity she said, "I want you to
pray God will either give me grace to bear these burdens or else
take about half of them away. I can carry about half of them—I
just can't carry all of them."
"Dear Sister," I replied, "we don't have to pray about that—
we've already heard from heaven. God's Word is our message
from heaven. His Word couldn't be more sure if an angel
suddenly came down here and wrote with his finger on a granite
block: GOD'S WORD IS ETERNAL."
She looked startled.
I opened my Bible to First Peter 5:7 and asked her to read
out loud. She read, "Casting all your care upon him; for he
careth for you."
