If you will practice what I am about to share with you, this will be the last day you will ever have a worried thought. You can commit yourself and all of the cares and worries of your mind to Him and enjoy divine peace.

God Is Vehemently Against Worry
It does not produce anything but stress, strain, and death. Jesus preached against it; Paul preached against it. The whole Bible is against worry because Satan designed it.

Take Philippians 4:6-7 as a command:
Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
The Amplified Bible says, "Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything." First Peter 5:6-7 says,
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. Casting all your care upon him.
Not 75 percent of it. Not everything but your kids. He did not say, "everything but your finances." Your confession every morning should be, "I do not have a care, because it has been cast over on my Lord."

No, you're to cast out every single worried thought that would trample its way into your thinking. Roll it over onto Him.

Let me illustrate how you would do it. Let's say you were standing about 20 feet away from me. I tossed the keys to my automobile to you. If someone else were to come to me and say, "Brother Copeland, I need the keys to your car. I need to use it." I would say, "No, I can't help you. I cast my keys over on him. I don't have them."

I did not say that those keys ceased to exist. I did not say that he could not have those keys. I did not say that I could not get them back. If I go and get them, you would give them back to me. If someone wants the car keys he will have to go talk to you because I cast them over on you.

That's what we need to do with our cares. We must cast them over on the Lord and not take them back! If Satan brings a worried thought to your mind, saying, "What if...," then you can tell him to talk to God about it. It is in His hands, not yours!

Replace Your Worry With The Word
Many people want God to supernaturally remove their worry. But that is not the way to get the peace of God. It comes by acting on the Word that says to cast all of your worry and anxiety over on Him. You must replace those thoughts with the Word. Philippians 4:8 says to think on whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report. "If there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

You are the one who has to control your mind. The Word says that the peace of God will garrison and mount guard over your heart and mind (Phil. 4:7). You must keep your thoughts under control.

The power of God begins to operate when you cast your care over on Him. As long as you worry about it, you only hinder the flow of His power and tie His hands.

Take these three scriptures…

1 Peter 5:6-7
2 Corinthians 10:5
Philippians 4:6

…and meditate on them. Joshua 1:8 says that "If you will meditate in the Word day and night," you will be able to see how to do it. Philippians 4:9 says, "Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do."

As you give your attention to these scriptures the Holy Spirit will reveal this truth to you. You will then be able to act on it!

You don't have to worry again. The greater One indwells in you. He is able to put you over. Commit to it. You will never worry again.
