Here's an activation for casting cares. Make a list for yourself of any current burdens/cares that Holy Spirit brings to mind. Speak out loud in prayer to cast these cares on Jesus. If He shows you someone to share some of these burdens with so that person can help you bear the burden (Gal. 6:2) and be a part of the process of casting them on the Lord, then contact that person for prayer support. If you have previously cast a care on Jesus, check your progress and peace on that issue. Are you still worrying about it? Is it constantly in your thoughts? Does it cause your joy level to drop when you consider it? If so, you may need to revisit casting that care (or cares) on Jesus by declaring it out loud in His presence and possibly sharing it with a Godly friend. Remember, you are being released by Holy Spirit from a burdened heart and a deadly chokehold. Is it any wonder that there are so many hurting people when they are bearing the heavy burdens of life all by themselves without the burden-sharing of the body, and without the burden-bearer - Jesus! As you receive release and freedom, first testify. This will help solidify the Spirit's peace and comfort in your heart. Secondly, be on the alert for the Holy Spirit to connect you with hurting people who are your local harvest field to whom you are called to labor among because you have experienced the comfort of Holy Spirit, whereby you can now comfort (Is. 51:12; I Thess. 5:11; I Cor. 1:3-7).
Other verses to consider on "casting cares" include the following: Ps. 55:22; II Chron. 6:28-31; Is. 10:27; Matt. 11:28-30

Thank you so much for this blog. I was so blessed by this tonight. I was able to just start speaking out all this stuff to Jesus that I have been carrying around...instead of keeping it contained to myself and rehashing scenarios and "what if's" in my head. It was very freeing!!
PB- I finally found your blog- YAY God I am downloading it all and can't wait to read it!
Love n hugs dmp
