1 Peter 5:7

Over the course of this exam period I got three smses asking me to cast all my cares on God! So I went to try playing the song on my piano and I really love the tune. It's difficult to put in words, but some melodies, even without the lyrics, can evoke such a subtle feeling of simplicity and trust. Maybe its the fragmented melody, or the poignant minor 7th interval, I don't know.

I can play it very simply, like the voice of a child's innocent faith... I can play it strongly and deeply, as how I would imagine God's strong arms to be around us... I can play it in a question and answer way, mimicking how we always pray to God and how he never fails to answer us.... I could play it over and over and over again.... to remind myself of God's promises.
