Opening Prayer: Father we thank you for your awesomeness,your care and goodness over our life and family.Thank you for another beautiful year our year of The blessing.
Enlighten the eyes of our understanding dear lord,so that we can comprehend your will for our life
MESSAGE:
Have you ever been in a situation where you ask if God really cares about you or cares about things that concerns you?well I am glad to announce to you that everything that concerns you matters to him.*
Psalms 55:22 ''Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved''.
Did you ever wonder if God really cares? When we doubt that God cares it is painful.
The disciples displayed that upon our Lord when they said in the midst of the storm。
Mark 4:38
''And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?'' Yes He cared. He had not said, Let us set sail and be drowned. Rather, He had said, Let us pass over unto the other side. The anxiety of the disciples showed that they were carrying their care instead of casting it on Him.
Beloved, God has given us a remedy for the anxieties that arise from our trials. It is a distinctive characteristic of Christianity that the Lord Jesus Christ cares for those who put their trust in Him.
The Christian can bring all of his anxieties to the Savior. Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Not some of them, or many of them, or most of them, but all of them.
Although affliction cometh
not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. Job 5:6-7 Human trials are not simply natural phenomena. Nothing occurs that is outside the knowledge of God..
Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not Job 14:1-2...
Peter referred to those who suffer according to the will of God in *1Peter4:16-19*) *Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.*
*For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?*
*And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?*
*Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.*
God had allowed severe trials to come to those believers in accordance with His own wise and perfect will. Therefore, they were urged to commit the keeping of their souls to him. That means they could entrust the safety and security of their souls to God, their faithful Creator.
Let's see
*1Peter5:7*)it clearly stated that their suffering was causing them some anxiety. They were beginning to worry, painful uneasiness of the mind. It is the crippling sin of worry that our Lord said chokes the Word so that it becomes unfruitful.Matthew 13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
Be careful for nothing;but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God Philippians 4:6. He tells us not to worry about anything, for anxiety comes from not trusting God. Most of the time we are careful and troubled about many things when we could simply pray and drop it at his feet...
Being worried simply means he does not care But the Scripture says He does careth for you.

Being worried simply means he does not care But the Scripture says He does careth for you.
Christians are the objects of God's love, and He therefore does care about us. Not that He is worried or anxious about us, but He does feel a personal interest in us. There is a difference between human anxiety and divine care.
*1 Peter 5:7*
*Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you*
Pray instead of accusing God..
The children of Israelites waited for 400years until they decided to cry out to God and God sent his word to moses and said,I have heard their cry and groaning that I have come down to deliver them.
*Matthew6:25-34**Therefore I say unto you,Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
God's promises still stands.
He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Just trust the process..
See there are times it looks like God has forgotten you,but then we should always know that he will never leave us or forsake us.God might not show up when we want him to but he is always on time
As human we have feelings,desires too.We are affected by physical pain, by weariness. Brethren Jesus cares. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust (Psalm 103:14). We must learn to drop it at his feet.
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us Ephesians 3:20.
Casting all your burdens to him does not make you weak,It is Humility...
Matthew 11:29-30 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart:and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Prayer:
Drop those fears at his feet
Tell him you trust the process..
Thank you God for your word that has come to us tonight..
In Jesus name we pray.
