Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.” - Proverbs 12:25
Chapter 12 of Proverbs is titled Contrast the Upright and the Wicked and discusses the differences between good and evil. The contrast between the effects of anxiety versus encouragement is a different matter. The effects of anxiety, whether physical, emotional or mental, always tear us down. Anxiety as an emotion is about informing us that something is at risk or at stake and inviting us to assess whether we can control, avoid or confront the risk.
When we get stuck in anxiety, it is often because we’re wanting to control something that is not really within our control. Holding onto the belief that ruminating on worrisome thoughts about things outside of our control will help us avoid the risk of pain and disappointment that only holds us back from seeing how God’s word offers to support us through these feelings even when it’s outside of our control. We can practice casting our anxieties on the Lord by stepping away from attempts to control our worries and leaning into the reassuring words of God. Once we do this, we can see that our anxiety is not a thing on which we should focus. Instead, we are called to give it up to God.
Verse 25 further deepens our understanding of what anxiety does to us – it weighs us down. To give this a visual metaphor, picture a backpack with a book in it. The more books you put into your backpack, the heavier it gets. The more worries you add onto yourself, the heavier your mind, emotions and physical body are weighed down with anxiety. When you carry thoughts in your mind, you carry them in your heart. Learning to replace those stressful thoughts with the word of God is life-altering. Rather than experiencing constant worry, you will find more joy in your life.
He Cares for Us
“Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you.” - 1 Peter 5:7
As humans, we like to be in control of our lives and, more specifically, of what happens in our lives. God continues to remind us, however, that it does not have to be this way. We might want to keep our anxiety to ourselves because we believe that we can handle it, thinking we have the authority to determine what happens to us and others. Is there a part of you that believes God is really in control? God cares deeply for us, but we prioritize our desire for control over His love, and this does not work in the end.
When Jesus calmed the storm in the presence of the disciples (Mathew 8:23–27), He demonstrated to us that only He is able to resolve the most frightening situations, even a treacherous storm in the darkest night. We must have faith that He has the power to do this. Waves may be uncontrollable, but when the storm clears, they are calmed and peaceful. In this metaphor, we represent the waves, and God is the only one that can give us peace. We must, therefore, give up control of our anxiety.
Pray Instead of Worry
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6–7
It is easy for us to immediately worry when things do not go as intended. We find it hard to not be taken captive by those thoughts and to instead pray about the situation. Pray about everything with thanksgiving and let God know about your worries. Even when our prayers are not solved exactly as we might want, we can remember what Scripture says and be led to give thanks to God. The peace of God surpasses our understanding because we are of this earth. However, we get to have faith that His peace will keep our minds and hearts tranquil in His presence.
Deliverer
Here’s Psalm 50:12, 15. God says, “If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world and its fullness are mine. . . . call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.” What an amazing two verses. In other words, never think that you can glorify God by sacrificially providing for him, providing your labor for him, as though he depended on you for anything. God is not glorified by being your beneficiary. He’s glorified by being your benefactor. “Call on me,” he says, “in the day of trouble; I will deliver you” — not the other way around. “I’ll deliver you, and you will glorify me for my delivering you.” He’ll never surrender the glory of being the all-sufficient provider and deliverer.
Worker
Isaiah 64:4 — oh my goodness, this is glorious. I remember the first time I saw this and had it pointed out to me what kind of uniqueness God claims for himself. “From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you.” Okay, now what’s the uniqueness here that nobody has seen? “. . . who works for those who wait for him.” In other words, what makes God unique among all the pagan gods of the nations is that he doesn’t look for help; he provides help. He works for those who wait for him. Baal and Nebo, those Babylonian gods, they’re like idols sitting on carts that you’ve got to drag around with yokes over your shoulder, whereas our God carries us. We don’t carry him.
Supporter
And maybe the text that amazed me the most of this cluster that I’m reading was 2 Chronicles 16:9: “The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him.” What that really says is that God is prowling around; he’s on the lookout for people who let him work for them, for people whose hearts will turn to him and trust him to be strong on their behalf. God is looking for ways, so to speak, to show off his power for us, not against us — for the sake of those who humble themselves under his mighty hand and trust him to work for them. Amazing.
Servant
One more text to illustrate the point, and it goes right to the heart of the matter because it has to do with the incarnation and what God was up to when he sent Jesus. Here’s Mark 10:45: “The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” In other words, at the very peak of the revelation of who God is — namely, in the incarnation of his own Son — the point he makes again is this: “I’m not coming to recruit help. I’m not coming to be served. I’m coming to serve. I’m the Savior here. I’m the helper here. I’m the rescuer here. I’m the provider here. I’m the all-wise guide here. I’m the treasure here. Don’t switch roles with me. Be needy, be satisfied, be trustful.”
Trust the All-Sufficient God
So, the answer to our most fundamental question — What kind of God are we dealing with when it comes to burden bearing? — is that we are dealing with a God who is so full he does not need our help to be more full, to be better, to be more effective, to be more satisfied, to be more glorious. All of his fullness — all of his excellence, his effectiveness, his glory — is shown for his people by his working for them, not them working for him. He lifts burdens. We don’t lift his. So with this glorious, massive reality of the kind of God that we are dealing with, what it means to cast your burden or your anxiety on the Lord is that you listen to his promises concerning your situation, and you trust him that he is the kind of God who is strong enough, wise enough, good enough to take onto his strong shoulders your concern and fulfill his promise to you.
“God is the kind of God who is strong enough, wise enough, good enough to take onto his strong shoulders your concern.”
Now, notice that the command in 1 Peter 5:7 to cast your anxieties on the Lord is preceded by the statement that God is mighty and followed by the statement that God cares. It goes like this: “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, . . . casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:6–7). Therefore, the casting of our anxieties means trusting his might and trusting his care to fulfill specific promises that he makes to his children in their various situations of life.
So as I’m facing a situation of anxiety, I admit that I cannot provide God’s needs. That’s not my job. He doesn’t want me to take that role. I’m helpless. God is all-sufficient, so I call to mind a promise like Isaiah 41:10, my go-to precious promise, where God says to me personally (I can hear him saying my name almost), “John, I will help you. I will strengthen you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” — a wonderful promise. And I trust that promise at that moment, and that trusting is the casting of my anxiety onto him. If, by grace, I am able to rest in the promise, the burden is lifted, and I can walk into the scary situation without fear.
So, never cease to be amazed that God is not a man that he should be served, but he is God, and he delights to show his power and his care not by burdening us, but by lifting our burdens. Trust him for this.
Casting all your anxieties on him because he cares for you,” is an example of a subordinate, or dependent, clause. On its own, it does not form a complete sentence. It is conditional upon the main clause(in this case, “humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God…”) to complete the thought.
In other words, our ability to cast all our anxieties on God is dependent upon our ability to humble ourselves.This relationship is not to be ignored, but further explored because, for some of us, it may be the key to finally ridding ourselves of anxiety!
The extent to which we are able to humble ourselves before the Lord, surrender control, and release our grip on what we think is best is directly correlated to our ability to cast our anxieties on God and notreel them back in. Quoting the second part of this passage (i.e. cast your all your anxieties on Him because he cares for you) out of context gives us false hope that we can be worry-free without the responsibility of first examining ourselves.
It wasn’t that God wouldn’t take my health issues like He would my worries about the pandemic or state of our country—it was that I hadn’t stopped trying to control them. It takes a humble attitude to give it all to God, not hold back any pieces, and resist the urge to reel them back in. It requires a level of trust that the God of the universe knows best, even when life doesn’t align with our plan.
At the very core of anxiety is a concern that we won’t be dealt the hand we want by God. If you have anxiety about your health, you might be concerned you’re going to receive a bad diagnosis. If you have anxiety about your kids, you might be concerned that their education, circle of friends, or decision-making is not what is best for them. If you have anxiety about your financial security, you might doubt God’s promise to supply all your needs (Phil 4:19).
As I heard once on SHINE FM, a Christian radio station, “We can either worry or we can trust God, but we can’t do both at the same time.”
I’ve seen God’s hand at work in this season to bring hope and healing to others. I’ve found unexpected treasures of gratitude and joy as I’ve drawn closer to Jesus in my pain. But would I say chronic pain is what’s best for me and my family?
If I’m honest, probably not. Pain places limitations on my ability to run and play with my kids. It makes driving, writing, mealtime, and activities that require prolonged sitting difficult. Some nights I’m so exhausted from managing the pain and side effects of the medication that quality time with my husband is cut short. Other days I feel like my physical body is twice my actual age.
How is this what’s best?
Perhaps some of you share the same faulty belief that what we want must be what’s best and, therefore, we know better than God. We certainly wouldn’t phrase it that way, but we’ve convinced ourselves that a good God would want to fully heal and restore us. After all, His Word tells us “after we have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish us” (1 Peter 5:10).
(Click here to read my post, From Hardship to Healing – Inviting Pain to Propel Us Toward Wholeness, for information on how “healing” may look different than we imagined.)
God’s promise to heal and restore us holds true, but we are no more qualified to define “a little while” in the context of eternity than we are to know His greater plan.
God is less concerned with our happiness than our holiness. His “best” is for us to be transformed into the image of Jesus. Christ left heaven, where He was highly esteemed and held a position of great authority, to come down to earth as a suffering servant and sacrifice His life for us. This is the ultimate portrayal of humility.
To emulate the humility of Jesus is to prioritize God’s will over our desires, even when it’s difficult or painful. It means valuing others above ourselves, being careful to do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit (Philippians 2:3). And it means setting aside attitudes of superiority or entitlement to embrace a life of servitude.
If we catch ourselves saying, “I’m a good person. I follow Jesus. I don’t deserve this and/or I have a right to know what’s going on,” we have a spirit of entitlement. We all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and our guilt deserves death. It is because of the Lord’s faithful love that we do not perish, for his mercies never end (Lamentations 3:22 CSB).
If we catch ourselves questioning God, accusing Him of being unjust, or claiming to know His purpose behind our pain, it is likely we have a spirit of superiority. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts and His ways are higher than our ways, but we can trust that He will work all things for good of those who love Him and that He is growing and shaping us through this (Isaiah 55:9, Romans 8:28). K.J. Ramsey, author of This Too Shall Lastsays, “Searching hard for what God might be teaching us is more indicative of anxiety than faith.” She goes on to say, “Grasping to find the purpose in your pain may be the very thing preventing you from experiencing comfort and even transformation in your suffering.”
Perhaps God’s timing doesn’t line up with your plan, so, like Abram and Sarai, you have decided to take matters into your own hands. This indicates a lack of trust and spirit of control. To find peace, we must surrender it all—our fears, expectations, self-reliance, and pride—to take up our cross and follow Him (Matthew 16:24). In the words of Pastor Steven Furtick, “I’ve been trying to cast my anxieties and keep my pride. But the thing about it is—you need to know—that the pride and the anxiety come in the same package. So, if you insist on doing it your way, then expect to feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders because it is.”
Before God can take our anxiety, we must strip off our pride, surrender our plan, and restore Him to the rightful position on the throne of our lives. We have to let go of the “what ifs” to embrace “what is” to the best of our ability, leaning on Christ’s strength to persevere.
Let us clothe ourselves with humility, for God shows favor to the humble (1 Peter 5:5, James 4:6). Proverbs 29:23 tells us, “pride brings a person low, but the lowly in spirit gain honor.” God looks kindly upon those who recognize their dependence before Him, use their God-given talents to serve others, and let go of living for themselves.
Cast All Your Anxiety On Him Meaning…
The pressures and burdens of this life are heavy and difficult. When we try to carry them on our own we will find ourselves weary. But God has a better way.
Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
He invites us to be yoked to him. In this way we aren’t shouldering the burdens ourselves. Jesus is doing the heavy lifting for us.
Similarly, casting our cares and anxieties on him means that we are moving from trusting our knowledge and abilities to trusting God and resting in his provision.
The image of casting our worries upon God is fitting. We don’t just tell God our worries; we cast, or throw, them onto him. We don’t need to sugarcoat them or pretend to have more faith than we really do. God is willing and capable to carry even our heaviest burden.
Get rid of your worries, throw them onto God. He is our burden carrier.
Because He Cares For You Meaning…
Peter tells us why God is willing to do this for us. Because he cares about you.
Our God isn’t an impersonal God that simply wants subservience. No, he wants a relationship. He cares deeply for you and what you are going through.
One of the most incredible moments in the entire Bible is when Jesus wept(John 11:35). He is showing the deep empathy he feels for his people.
God isn’t a distant God who doesn’t care about our problems. No, he’s deeply invested in you. He cares about you in a way that you and I cannot even fathom. He weeps with us.
He doesn’t look at your problems and think you should just get over it, deal with it, or move past it. Even though he knows that what we are facing is temporary. Instead he chooses to sit with us in it.
We can cast all our worries and anxieties on him because he cares for us.
How To Cast All Your Anxiety On God
Let’s end by looking at how we can practically cast our anxieties on God.
Pray… Continually.
Prayer is how we can give our worries to God. Each one. We don’t need to sugarcoat them or downplay our pain. We can simply tell God what we are feeling and worried about.
We don’t just pray once. We pray continually. Each time a worry comes up we turn around and give it straight to God. This is a daily, or maybe even hourly, practice. Each time we face a trial we give it to God.
Remind Yourself Of What’s True
When we face trials and challenges it’s tempting to stop looking at and trusting God. We tend to focus instead on what’s in front of us and the fear that is building.
That’s why it’s so important that we make it a regular practice to remind ourselves of the promises of God.
In those moments we must continually tell ourselves: He is with me. He cares about me. He will sustain me. He loves me. He will get me through this.
Turning to verses like 1 Peter 5:7 can be powerful reminders of what God has done and will do for us.
Allow Others To Encourage You
In this passage Peter is reminding and encouraging Christians facing incredible hardships. There’s power in community and doing life together.
I see time and time again when someone faces something difficult they withdraw. But we need each other, especially in our hardest seasons.
Sometimes you need help casting your anxieties on God. You need someone to help you lift those worries high enough so that you can throw them. That’s the beauty of Christian community. You not only have a God who cares about you, but people beside you helping and encouraging you.
Final Thoughts On The 1 Peter 5:7 Meaning
