Cast "all your cares".... personal cares, family cares, cares for the present, cares for the future, for yourselves, for others, for the church, on God. These cares are burdensome, and often very sinful when they arise from unbelief and distrust, when they torture and distract the mind, unfit us for duties, and hinder our delight in the service of God. The remedy is to cast our care upon God, and leave every event to His wise and gracious disposal. Firm belief that the Divine will and counsels are right, calms the spirit of a man. Truly the godly too often forget this, and fret themselves to no purpose. Refer all to God's disposal. The golden mines of all spiritual comfort and good are wholly His!
-Matthew Henry's Commentary on I Peter 5:7

Oh Boy! An eloquence that made me think you had missed your calling as a writer! Oh, I see--it's ol' Matt. Well, good word none the less!
