First Peter 5:7 says, “casting all your cares on Him, for He cares for you.”

Of course this is not a complete sentence, but it does have two statements that give us hope and encourage our lives. First we have instruction: casting all our cares on Him. This is actually a explanation of how you do what Peter says in v6. You humble yourself under God’s mighty Hand by casting all your cares on Him.

The promise is one of the great understatements of the Bible. If you ever needed a verse to tell you explicitly that God cares for you, remember 1 Peter 5:7b, “for He cares for you.” The pattern in the NT and OT is pretty clear: promises follow commands. Let’s get with God’s Word for our lives!
