When anxiety will not be reasoned away
Some forms of anxiety do not respond to reassurance, logic, or well-meant advice. Intrusive thoughts return again and again. Guilt tightens rather than loosens. The mind becomes trapped in cycles of doubt, self-monitoring, and fear of getting things wrong before God.
Many sincere believers find themselves here, confused and exhausted, wondering why trusting God seems harder rather than easier. How to Cast Your Care was written for those moments, when anxiety refuses to settle and familiar answers no longer help.
Written for the weary believer
This book is written especially for Christians struggling with chronic anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and religious OCD (scrupulosity). It is also written for pastors, elders, and biblical counsellors who long to support sufferers wisely, without unintentionally increasing fear or placing burdens on tender consciences.
The tone throughout is pastoral and compassionate, grounded in the conviction that Christ is sufficient for anxious souls, even when the struggle feels relentless.
Why reassurance so often fails
Many anxious believers are trapped in a cycle of seeking certainty, checking motives, and looking for internal peace before they feel safe. Yet the more reassurance they seek, the more fragile their confidence becomes.
This book explains why that happens, not through psychology alone, but through a biblical understanding of the human heart, the conscience, and the limits of self-trust. It helps readers see why peace cannot be sustained by managing thoughts perfectly, and why the gospel offers something far sturdier.
What this book offers instead
Rather than focusing on techniques or short-term relief, How to Cast Your Care centres on the person and work of Christ. It repeatedly draws anxious believers away from inward scrutiny and back to the finished work of Jesus, His intercession, and the steady work of the Holy Spirit in sanctification.
The book explores how faith grows not by eliminating uncertainty, but by learning where to place our weight when fear remains. It shows how casting our care upon the Lord is not a single act, but a posture learned over time.
A faithful companion through a long battle
This is not a promise of instant freedom from anxiety. It is an honest, gospel-anchored guide for those who feel they are fighting the same battle day after day.
Again and again, the book reminds the reader that weakness does not disqualify them from grace, that anxious thoughts are not the same as wilful unbelief, and that Christ remains faithful even when our minds feel anything but steady.
