Casting All Your Care

The Storm

Peter names a specific, active instruction here, casting, worth noticing this deliberate, physical image, not gentle setting down but genuine casting, active, forceful release, worth holding as this whole second movement’s own starting point, turning from honest naming toward this active, deliberate practice.

This second movement, turning from this book’s honest naming of genuine overwhelm toward genuine anchoring, opens with this crucial instruction. All your care, comprehensive, not selectively casting only the manageable concerns while keeping the genuinely overwhelming ones held tightly, privately, still your own to carry.

Notice for he careth for you, the specific reason given for this casting, not because your care is insignificant, but precisely because it genuinely matters to him, worth examining against however much you have hesitated to cast genuinely significant care, assuming it too important to actually release to someone else.

Whatever care you have been holding tightly, privately, too significant to actually cast, practice today this active, deliberate release. Casting all your care upon him, trusting his own stated reason, he careth for you, not because your care is unimportant, but because it genuinely, actually matters to him.
