God says:  "Cast all your cares on ME."  

I Peter 5:7   "Casting all your care upon him, for he cares for you"   

That is something that every Christian needs to learn.  It is easy to say to someone, "just cast it on the Lord"    But we really need to be in a relationship with Him to be able to trust him with taking care of our situation.    

Prayer is not enough. Yes we can tell God through prayer what we need and He will begin to set the wheels in motion to bring the answer.  But the care is a separate issue.   We can trust God and His word, but we have to learn to rest in the knowledge that He is able and willing to deliver us "from the snare of the fowler and noisome pestilence" Psalm 91:3   

When you cast your care on Him ( a spiritual principle ) you need to do something that takes your earthly thought off of the problem.  God has provided that mechanism.   Praise and worship is a wonderful way to take your mind off of your problem and put it on the Lord.  Praise takes you into the courts of heaven and worship takes you into His very presence.  

In the Presence of the Lord "there is fullness of joy"  Psalm 16:11    Care goes when joy comes.    That is the secret.
