Day 64 – Let God Have All the Concern

Casting 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 AMP

When you have prayed, leave all the concern to the Lord. Believe the Lord completely, and let Him worry about the whole situation. This is one principle of effective praying. When you have been obedient in responding to all issues of life in prayer, let the God to whom you have prayed carry the burden.  You must learn to maintain an anxiety free attitude from that moment onwards.

In I Samuel Chapter 1, Hanna prayed unto God for a child, she even wept bitterly because of the problem (V9-15). She ensured she asked specifically for a Boy. The bible says when she left the presence of the Lord; her countenance was ‘no more sad’ (V18). She allowed God to handle all the worries! The Result – She received the petition that she asked of the Lord – (V27). 

Phil 4:6 tells us to let our request be made known unto God with thanksgiving. As you rise up from your place of prayer and face the day today, do not let your countenance to be sad! Walk and talk in faith. Ask with thanksgiving, and maintain an attitude of praise. The Lord is able – you will testify. May God grant you a fulfilling day, in Jesus name.
