What does it mean to cast our cares upon the Lord?

Answered in 2 sources

Casting our cares upon the Lord means trusting Him with our burdens, knowing He cares for us and governs all aspects of our lives.

To cast our cares upon the Lord is to entrust our worries, fears, and troubles to Him in faith. 1 Peter 5:7 encourages believers to 'cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.' This act of faith acknowledges our dependence on God and His sovereignty over our lives. Just as Jochebed placed Moses in the ark amid the Egyptians' threat, we too must surrender our concerns, believing that God controls all events and works for our good. This does not mean we will escape trials; rather, it assures us that in every situation, God is present and manages the outcome for our benefit and His glory.
