Casted

Why is it when the Lord prompts us to cast our worries to Him, our natural instinct is to suppress it?

We instead, end up stuffing our worries down almost as if we want to store them into secret treasure boxes to keep at the back of our closets. But what ends up happening to boxes that are overstuffed?

They eventually end up not being able to close and the stuff pops out of it like an old-fashioned Jack in a Box.

Our stuffed down worries end up creating pressurized anxiety. Then we try to mask it with stuff, doing things for distractions, or overly medicating. (Please note, I am NOT discrediting the advantages of using certain anti-anxiety medications. They 100% have their place and even I have used them for a short duration several years ago. I am talking about the abuse of such medications here.)

You’ll never get a testimony out of your pain unless you release it.

Stop hiding it. Stop acting like it didn’t happen. Stop suppressing it.

The reason why you’re struggling with keeping it inside, is because you were never meant to hold it!

So, the next time you’re reminded of whatever has happened – maybe it’s the holy spirit telling you, “Hey it’s time to cast that to me daughter. It’s time for me to hold that son. If I’m you’re Saviour, why are you still trying to save yourself by holding what is it not yours to hold.”
