cast your cares...

i feel convicted today to cast all my cares/anxieties upon him... because He cares for me.  i realize that i live with an underlying sense of anxiety.  i never quite know what the emotional climate is going to be in my home.  i sometimes find myself expecting disaster rather than hoping for and expecting the best. 
so today, i feel like i've taken a trip to the woodshed and been disciplined.  love is described as being patient, kind, bearing all things, hoping all things... i don't hope... i sometimes despair.  the exact opposite of love.  the absence of hope.  how awful to have this realization.  but i trust that it was the holy spirit who lovingly brought this to my attention, and so now i am consciously handing over my anxiety to the one who does care for me.  i'm excited to see how gracious He will be with my heart, my anxiousness, my concerns.  i know He will soothe me.
