An Active Transfer of Trust
Scholars explain that "casting your anxiety" is not a passive wish but a decisive act of the will. It involves consciously transferring your worries—be they about family, finances, the future, or persecution—to God. As commentators like Calvin and Gill note, this doesn't mean becoming lazy or irresponsible. It means doing your part diligently while trusting God with the outcome and finding rest for your faith.
