Cast all your cares

​“Casting all your care upon him, for he careth for you.” (1Peter 5:7)

Overthinking is something we all do. It is defined as experiencing a loop of thought. It “involves thinking about a certain topic or situation excessively, analyzing it for long periods of time.” It is difficult to redirect your thoughts as you become consumed with thinking about that one thing. 

“Turn every care into a prayer. Let your cares be the raw material of your prayers,. Baptize every anxiety into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, and so make it into a blessing…Let your cares drive you to God. I shall not mind if you have many of them if each one leads you to prayer. If every fret makes you lean more on the Beloved, it will be a benefit.” Charles Spurgeon

One can only imagine how much time we would spend if we turned every excessive thought, and every overly concern into prayer. We would find that we will spend much more time with the Lord, and of course our faith and walk with God will be strengthened.
