我走向機場的自助報到機，準備用存在手機裡的確認號碼辦理登機手續，卻驚覺手機不見了！原來，我不小心把手機遺落在送我來機場的那輛計程車上。而那是我在路邊揮手招的計程車，現在我要如何跟那位司機聯絡呢？

我一邊慌忙地將筆記型電腦連接機場的無線網路，一邊擔心為時已晚。但沒想到，我丈夫透過應用程式早就發現我的手機不在機場，並發了一封郵件給我，當我成功連接網路，立刻看到這封電郵。他寫道：「把這家計程車公司的電話號碼給我，我來處理。」知道丈夫會處理這件事，讓我頓時鬆了口氣，感到無比安心。

同樣地，當我們藉著基督與上帝有親密美好的關係時，我們可以倚靠祂，完全放心。彼得前書5章7節提醒我們：「要將一切的憂慮卸給上帝，因為祂顧念你們」。這節經文告訴我們，上帝願意承擔我們的憂慮和重擔。為什麼呢？因祂顧念我們。我們可以將一切的憂慮都交給上帝，不必讓煩惱在腦中盤旋，靠自己苦思冥想解決問題。

將憂慮卸給上帝是一種謙卑的表現，承認上帝比我們更有能力處理這些難題（6節）。雖然生活中難免會發生一些意想不到的事故，讓我們受苦（10節），但我們可以放心倚靠祂的看顧和供應。

I walked to the airline kiosk to check in using the confirmation number stored in my cell phone. But my phone was missing! I’d left it behind in the car that had dropped me off. So how could I contact the ride-hailing driver who’d dropped me off?

As I scrambled to connect my laptop to the airport’s Wi-Fi, I worried it was too late. Utilizing an app, my husband noticed my phone wasn’t with me at the airport and had already sent me an email—waiting for me as soon as I connected to the Wi-Fi. His email said, “Send me the car service’s number and I’ll take care of it.” My husband had jumped in to take care of things—giving me an immediate sense of peace.

This is part of the peace I believe God wants us to enjoy in the relationship we can experience with Him through Christ. First Peter 5:7 reminds us to “cast all [our] anxiety on him because he cares for [us].” This verse says that God wants to take on our worries and concerns. Why? Because He cares that much for us. We can give our cares to God rather than allowing them to swim around in our heads as we try to figure things out.

Casting our anxiety on God is a form of humility that acknowledges that He’s much more capable of handling our concerns than we are (v. 6). Although something may pop up to cause us to suffer (v. 10), we can rest in His care and provision.
