Have you ever thought something like this: "Does God really care about these circumstances in my life. I mean seriously, aren't these problems just too small for God." I have thought this before too. However God showed me that He does care about our cares and concerns no matter how small they may seem. How do we know this is true? Well, two verses tell us about this. The first is Philippians 4:6-7. It says:
"Be careful [or anxious] for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
You see, the apostle Paul, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, says that God does not want us to be worried about a thing. Therefore we need to take all our requests and burdens to Him.
The second verse that gives us assurance that God cares and wants to hear about our burdens is 1 Peter 5:7 which says,"Casting all your care upon him; for He cares for you."
So it is clear that God wants us to take our cares and concerns to Him. I think we all can improve on taking our burdens to God more often; so let's try to make our Heavenly Father our Heavenly Friend.

Yes!! I definitely have had those thoughts! When He says to cast ALL our cares on Him, He means ALL not just those that I feel may be big enough to catch His attention!! Thanks for the reminder!!
