With the welfare of the brethren at heart, Apostle Peter exhorted the early Christian, thus:
"Leave all your worries with him, because he cares for you." (I Pet. 5:7, Today's English Version)
One's response to this advice reflects how one recognizes what God can do for His people. But the problem is that there are people who keep their worries very much to themselves, thus aggravating or compounding the situation in the process. On the other hand, a lot would look for someone to bail them out, only to be disappointed, not because those whom they asked for assistance were unwilling, but because the latter do not have the resources, meaning, the solution to the problem is beyond their capacity or capability to help. Whichever way, it will therefore do well for God's people to listen to Apostle Peter's admonition, "Leave your worries to God'"
Who can leave his worries to God and be assured of His loving care? King David of old speaks, thus:
"Give yourself to the Lord; trust in him, and he will help you." (Ps. 37:5, Ibid)
So, he who trusts God and entrust or commits his worries to Him can avail himself of His assistance or help. We should never doubt God's ability to giveor provide us all our needs, for He greatly cares for His people. He knows who among them are going through hard and harrowing times.
