God’s shoulders are wide enough to carry your burdens.

He is sovereign over the universe-

– so He is certainly capable of working out problems and meeting needs.

I want to give you an exercise that will help make casting your cares a practical act.

First-

Admit!

Write on a piece of paper the things that cause your anxiety.

Once you start writing, you may discover a list of items that cheat you out of peace.

Next-

Submit!!

Pray each issue into God’s care.

Recall Psalm 18:35 which promises that He upholds believers in His loving grasp.

Finally-

Transmit!!!

As you pray, visualize placing the situation into God’s omnipotent hands.

For example-

– you may imagine handing over to the Lord what you owe, while saying, “Father, I give You my financial anxiety. I know that You will show me how to get out of debt. You are more than sufficient to handle it, and I trust You to guide me.”

Some people may protest this suggestion.

Because pseudo-spiritual movements also use a method they refer to as “visualizing.”

Don’t let anyone steal what is rightfully yours.

God creates word pictures throughout the Bible.

This exercise merely creates a mental snapshot of the Lord doing exactly what He says He will do (Psalm 55:22; Matthew 6:25-26).

When you have transferred all of your worries to God’s hands-

– wad up that paper in your fist, and then destroy it.

In this way, you symbolize the transaction that just took place.

Your cares are no longer yours.

Every one of them belongs to the Lord.

Walk away in perfect peace!
