A GOD WHO TRULY CARES
A poem and essay by ILMA
What are you worrying about these days?
Is it a loved one who is going astray?
Are your finances stressing you out?
Do you pray for help or do you just pout?
Give all your worries and cares to God
With him around, nothing is too hard
He truly cares so much and wants you to prosper
Don’t be proud, run to him and he will deliver.

How many times in the past did you dwell on a pity party? You have been praying for someone or something, that has never really happened for the longest time. You start worrying and thinking negatively about it. Then your body starts to give in from the stress and the toxic thinking. I have been guilty of this negative thought patterns for a good five decades of my life. When I became a born again Christian, God delivered me from this negative pattern and renewed my mind. I started replacing my worries and prayed instead. I didn’t realize that worrying was a sin until I got revelations. It also hinders our dreams to come true. I looked for truths from God’s word that would replace such toxic thoughts. I began memorizing bible verses and voila…God truly cares for me. He has answers for all my worries.

CAST YOUR CARES TO GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Is something bothering you lately?
God is there and cares for you constantly
Give all your worries and cares to Christ
He loves you more than anyone in this life.
Whenever you feel lonely and sad, run to him
He will give you strength so you can overcome sin
Cast your cares to the only One who understands you
He has power to make you whole and brand new.

There were many years of my life that I carried all my burdens alone. I was made to believe that someone who is strong doesn’t need anyone else. I relied on myself alone because I knew from experience that many people are not trustworthy and haven’t been really there for me in times of trouble. I was independent from anyone else for so many years. I acted like a super woman, trying to tell myself that I didn’t really need anyone. It wasn’t long when I got so sick that I had to depend on my little boy who was barely eight years old. God taught me a lesson. I can’t make it in life alone, especially not without his help.
The bible tells us that we need to cast our cares to God because he loves us immensely.
PRAYER
Lord, teach me how to always rely on you especially in times of weakness.
REFLECTION
What happens when you don’t share your burdens with Jesus?
