1 Peter 5:6-7
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
Psalm 55:22
Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.
Cast your anxiety, cast your cares, cast your burden. The verb means to throw far away (my definition). Think of fishing, when you cast your line, you are sending it way out there. Not only does The Lord promise to carry our cares and burdens for us, but He also directs us to cast them onto Him. Heave them over, not to be retrieved. He isn't merely offering to help carry the load while we continue to slump along under even the partial weight of them, He tells us to throw it onto Him. Entirely.
