Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. (1 Peter 5:6-7 ESV)
“Casting one’s cares on God is a recognition of God’s monopoly on justice as well as a deep-seated confession of God’s power to accomplish his purposes. It is an enacted credo.”
— Joel B. Green, 1 Peter (Eerdmans, 2007), 179.

Great turn of a phrase, “enacted credo”.
I believe (such and such), therefore I act (in such and such a manner).
