how do I cast my cares and worries upon the Lord.
Sounds like another question for Study Assistant.
Since this forum is not the place for theological discussions, and the question at hand posed by Brenda is very much theology, let me just rephrase my answer in technical software terms:
In software terms, “casting your care” can be compared to the moment when research anxiety shifts from using the tools to feeling responsible for guaranteeing the outcome.
You’re running searches. Adjusting syntax. Checking original language. Cross-referencing commentaries. At first, that’s just normal study. But at some point the pressure changes: the concern is no longer understanding the text — it’s the fear of missing something decisive or getting it wrong.
The weight subtly transfers from the content to the researcher.
In that analogy, “casting your care” is not stopping the work. It’s releasing the assumption that the validity of the result depends entirely on your precision.
You still construct queries. You still verify sources. But you stop acting as if the coherence of Scripture depends on your search string.
Technically speaking, it’s the difference between:
The database remains stable even if your query is imperfect. The integrity of the text is not upheld by your anxiety.
Applied back to the phrase: casting your care is the act of transferring ultimate responsibility for the outcome away from yourself. The effort continues. The illusion of control does not.
It’s less about achieving calm and more about relinquishing final responsibility. I hope that this answer is not too theological!
Thank you Ollie,
Your explanation dovetails into what I tthought the answer is. I'm ttrying to figure out a way to share with others how to cast ones care upon the Lord.
Thank you for sharing your perspective.
Gracefully,
Brenda

Good morning, over the last week, on the desktop version, I've found that my dashboard has had a mind of their own, displaying whichever cards it wanted - mostly old worksflows and reading plans. The cards I chose (mostly layouts) dissapeared. I've corrected the issue once or twice (removing the numerous cards I don't want…
Overnight I was charged for the updates to the Master Journal Library and Galaxie’s Theological Journal Library, vols. 1–28. The MJL downloaded the new resources, but nothing came down from Galaxie; it was supposed to be the list below. Did anyone get these, meaning my system needs a jolt to get the downloads going, or was…
I was looking at the Church History: Advanced Study Bundle. My dynamic price is $1353.55 saving $71.24. As you can see from the image though, the "Value if sold separately" price is $2508.89. Yet if you add up the individual "price if sold separately prices" shown there, they add up to $1405.93 - a savings of only $52.38…
Any chance someone might simply explain what Logos is doing when it differentiates "lemmas" from "other lemmas" in the EG subsection? The latter seem to be the results of a broader search, perhaps based on a match.nomarks type of search? In the ex. below, the first "other lemma" search result refers to a type of root with…
