To the elders - be shepherds.
You who are younger - submit yourselves to your elders.
All of you - clothe yourselves with humility toward one another.
Cast all your anxiety on him BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOU.
Be alert and of sober mind.
Resist your enemy, the devil. He prowls like a lion, looking for someone to devour.
God will restore those who suffer.
He will make you strong, firm and steadfast.
Peace to all in Christ.
Whenever I read something written by Peter, I am taken back to the roller coaster ride that was his days of walking with Jesus. Incredible highs, crushing lows. He was called a "Rock". He was told to care for the early believers. He was also called Satan by Jesus himself. That's a pretty broad range of experiences.
When my life feels like a roller coaster ride, or when I feel like God couldn't possibly use me because of things I've said or done, I think of Peter.
