Soul Food with De

Hey Brahmas, sure hoping everyone had a great Holiday Break, but now it’s time to get back to
business, or should I say classes and work! This week we want to focus on casting away our
anxieties. I know for me it is a struggle to just say let’s cast it away. However, through scripture I am reminded of God’s love and protection over my life. A good scripture to remember is 1 Peter 5:7, “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” For high school students or just teens in general this verse can speak to us about letting go of stress and trusting that God cares. When you’re feeling overwhelmed, remember that you’re not alone. You can “cast” your worries on God, like tossing a heavy backpack to the ground. Here are some ways to apply this verse:
– Write down your worries and put them in a “worry jar” to symbolize giving them to God
– Share your struggles with a trusted friend, parent, or counselor
– Take a few minutes each day to breathe deeply and remind yourself that God cares
– Focus on the present moment, rather than worrying about the future or past.
I hope these tips help you through the next few weeks and lead us into a great second half of this 2025-2026 School Year! GO Brahmas!
