Cares
Worries, Troubles
noun
Remember how 心配 means "a worry" and 事 can mean "thing"? Well, if you have a worry over some specific thing, then you probably have some cares and worries. What are your 心配事 these days?
The reading is the reading of 心配 (which you've hopefully gotten down okay by now) and 事 using the (こと) reading. It is rendaku'd, as well, so beware of the ごと. (Just another 心配事, am I right?)
心配事がなくなる
to have troubles disappear
心配事がある
to have worries
心配事がない
to have nothing to worry about
