“Casting all your care upon Him, for He careth for you.” (1 Pet. 5:6).
These are days of deep and sad trial for God’s beloved people. Privation, distress, oppression, and want tenaciously follow their footsteps continually, and in their extremities, they take up the cry of the saints of old,

“Lord, dost Thou not care?” (Luke 10:40).
The deep groan of the human heart is portrayed in these words, but it is not the mind of the Father concerning us. He would have us carefree (not careless). He desires us to be without carefulness, (1 Cor. 7:32), being
“Careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God, and the peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:6, 7).
