Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.
5:7 — “throwing all… him”. While one is undergoing tests of faith in this life, and awaits the promised exaltation (and God cannot lie, Tit 1:2), must cast all anxiety on God. The grammar of the Greek text implies that it should be cast “once for all.” see Matt 6:25 (“do not worry”, and Luke 10:41 (“busy”); In these two passages, the same Greek word that is used in this verse for “anxiety” appears. see Ps 55:22; Phil 4:6. The true Christian does not need tranquilizers. The reason why‚ the true Christian once and for all casts anxiety on God is given immediately. — “because he… you”. ask again Ps 55:22; Matt 6:25-34. Compare Matt 10:29-31; Luke 12:11-12 (a promise made in particular to the inspired apostles), and Hebrews 13:5-6. Chronic worry and anxiety show great lack of faith. Human pride does not allow a person to depend on another; she trusts herself. But the humble trust totally in God. see Jas 4:6-7. God promises to take care of him. Consider the example of Job at the time of his affliction (Job 1:21).

HE TAKES CARE OF YOU. God’s care for the problems of each of his children is an outstanding truth throughout his Word (see Salt 27:10; Ps 37:5; Ps 40:17; Ps 55:22; Matt 6:25-30; Matt 10:29-31; Mat 11:30; Phil 4:6, note).

casting all your anxiety on him. This verse quotes in part and in part interprets the Ps 55:22. “Echando” means “to put something on another thing”, as cloaks are thrown on a colt (Luke 19:35). Christians must cast all their discontent, discouragement, despair and suffering on the Lord, and trust that He knows what he does with in the life of each one of them (cf. 1Sa 1:10-18). In addition to submission (v. 1Pe 5:5) and humility (vv. 1Pe 5:5-6), the third attitude necessary for a victorious Christian life is trust in God.
