"Cares"

This word "Cares" jumps out at me in these verses of warnings in view of our Lord's return.
Luke 21:34-36 reads:  "And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."

I wonder---why is "cares of life" included in that verse?  We all have "cares" as we go through life---sickness, financial difficulties, job related trials, etc.  But I think the writer is trying to warn us that we must not allow the "cares" in our lives to weigh us down until they rob us of fellowship and communion with our Heavenly Father.

Here is a little prescription (author unknown) that I think will be of great benefit to you!

               "Every morning, lean thine arms awhile
                     upon the window sill of Heaven
                         and gaze upon thy Lord!
                          Then, with this vision in thy heart,
                             Turn --  strong to meet thy day!"
