CAST ALL YOUR CARES ON ME, FOR I AM watching over you. I am actually a very good Catcher, so throw Me your cares - your anxieties and concerns -- with abandon. As soon as you release those worrisome things, you can breathe a sign of relief and refresh yourself in My loving Presence. It doesn't matter if you have to do this many times each day -- and sometimes during the night too. I am always awake, ready to catch your cares and bear your burdens.
Because I am infinitely powerful, bearing your burdens does not weigh Me down at all. In fact, I enjoy this game of catch very much because I see your load becoming lighter and your face becoming brighter. No matter how much you throw at Me, I never miss! So refuse to let your worries weigh you down. Remember that I am with you -- ready to help with whatever you are facing. Instead of mulling over your problems, look to Me lightheartedly and say, "Catch, Jesus!" Then fling your cares into My strong, waiting hands.
- Jesus
