The term "cast" implies a decisive action, similar to throwing a burden onto someone else. In the context of 1 Peter, the early Christians faced persecution and trials, making this instruction particularly relevant. The act of casting one's anxiety is an expression of trust and faith in God's sovereignty and care. This concept is echoed in <a href="/psalms/55-22.htm">Psalm 55:22</a>, which also advises believers to cast their burdens on the Lord. The imagery of casting suggests a complete release, indicating that believers should not hold onto their anxieties but fully entrust them to God.<p><b>because He cares for you</b><br>This phrase reassures believers of God's personal and attentive care. The assurance of God's care is a central theme throughout Scripture, seen in passages like <a href="/matthew/6-25.htm">Matthew 6:25-34</a>, where Jesus teaches about God's provision for His creation. The use of "cares" indicates a deep, ongoing concern and involvement in the lives of believers. This care is not passive but active, as God is portrayed as a loving Father who is intimately aware of and involved in the needs of His children. The promise of God's care is a source of comfort and strength, encouraging believers to rely on Him in times of trouble. This reflects the character of God as seen throughout the Bible, where His faithfulness and love are consistently demonstrated.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/p/peter.htm">Peter</a></b><br>The author of the epistle, one of Jesus' twelve apostles, known for his leadership in the early church and his close relationship with Jesus.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_recipients.htm">The Recipients</a></b><br>Early Christians scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, facing persecution and trials.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure to whom believers are encouraged to cast their anxieties, emphasizing His care and sovereignty.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_cast.htm">Understanding Cast</a></b><br>The Greek word for "cast" (epiript?) implies a decisive action of throwing or placing something upon another.

Anxiety implies not only some distrust of God's providence, but also some kind of belief that we may be able to manage better for ourselves; therefore here, as in the Sermon on the Mount, we are exhorted, especially in time of danger, simply to do what we know we ought to do, and to be unheeding about the rest.<p>"Lord, it belongs not to my care<p>Whether I die or live."<p>The confidence cannot be misplaced, for God is not forgetful of us. The play of words in the English does not represent anything in the original, where the two words for "care" are quite different.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_peter/5.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 7.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Casting all your care upon him</span>; rather, <span class="accented">all your anxiety</span> <span class="greek">μέριμνα</span>. St. Peter is quoting, with slight alterations, the Septuagint Version of <a href="/psalms/55-22.htm">Psalm 55:22</a>. We cast our anxiety upon God when we fulfill the Lord's commandment, "Take no thought [rather, 'be not anxious'], saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? For your heavenly Fat. her knoweth that ye have need of all these things." God cares for us; therefore we must not be over-anxious, but trust in him. The participle is aorist, as if implying that we are to cast the whole burden of all our anxieties <span class="greek">πᾶσαν τὴν μέριμναν ὑμῶν</span> by one act of faith upon the Lord. <span class="cmt_word">For he careth for you</span>. The Greek word is <span class="greek">μέλει</span>, quite different from the <span class="greek">μέριμνα</span> of the foregoing clause. The care which is forbidden is that anxiety about worldly things which harasses a man and distracts his mind, so that he cannot compose himself to prayer and holy meditation. God's care for us is calm, holy, thoughtful providence. He "knoweth that we have need of all these things;" and he maketh all things work together for good to his chosen, to them that love him. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_peter/5-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">Cast</span><br /><span class="grk">ἐπιρίψαντες</span> <span class="translit">(epiripsantes)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Aorist Participle Active - Nominative Masculine Plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_1977.htm">Strong's 1977: </a> </span><span class="str2">To throw (cast) (upon), as of cares.
