Struggling with worry and anxiety? No matter what you’re struggling with, discover how to cast your cares on God.


Receive 

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed with worries, cares, and anxious thoughts, but you’re not meant to carry all those burdens on your own. Jesus said not to worry, and the apostle Paul said to cast all your cares on God.  

What are you worried about?  

What may be hindering you from trusting God with your worries, anxious thoughts, cares, and concerns?  

What could your next step toward trusting God more and worrying less look like? 

 

Reflect  

  • How does it feel knowing that God wants you to cast all your cares on Him as it says in 1 Peter 5:7 and that we’re to be anxious for nothing as you read in Philippians 4:6–7? 
  • How does Matthew 6:19–34 help you to not worry so much about tomorrow? 
  • How does the good soil Jesus mentioned in His parable found in Luke 8:4–18 differ from the other soil He mentioned? 
  • How can you stay focused on what matters most like Mary in Luke 10:38– 42 instead of being distracted by good things like Martha?  
  • How does Timothy’s genuine concern for the well-being of the Philippian church that the apostle Paul commended him for in Philippians 2:14–24 differ from unhealthy worry?  

 

 

Respond 

(Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) 

“Dear God, thank You that I don’t have to be consumed with worry and anxious thoughts. Thank You that I can go to You with all my cares and concerns. Help me to keep trusting You no matter my circumstances.”

Each week on Discover the Word Podcast, a small group from Our Daily Bread Ministries gathers around the microphone for a conversation that feels more like a thoughtful coffee shop discussion than a formal lecture. The focus is on opening up the Bible together, taking a single passage or theme and turning it over to see all its facets. You’ll hear the hosts-and occasionally a guest-ask honest questions, share personal reflections, and connect ancient texts to the complexities of modern life in culture and society. This isn't about quick answers, but about cultivating a deeper, more practical spirituality through patient exploration. The rhythm of this weekly podcast provides a consistent space to pause and consider how these timeless words speak into our relationships, challenges, and everyday moments. It’s an invitation to move beyond a surface reading and to truly discover the layers of meaning, wisdom, and guidance waiting within Scripture. Join this accessible, conversational Bible study to find fresh perspective and meaningful application for your own journey.
