This morning I was going through some bills and budget stuff trying to figure out how things work out...especially with the future...wondering about if I should be working more or how we will take care of things in the coming year. As I got more and more anxious about this, I stopped and went to the source of my comfort. I know there are so many fears and anxieties that we all have daily that we battle, and I hope that these verses and truths will speak peace to you as it has to me.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." -Phil 4:6-7

"You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts You." -Isaiah 26:3

"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all of your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you." -1Pet 5:6-7

"Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be shaken." -Ps 55:22 (This whole psalm is worth reading!)

"Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forevermore. Amen." -Gal 1:3-5


God knows all the things that we need. He is the Creator and sustainer of all things. Nothing is too big for Him, nor is anything too small for Him. He will provide, protect, comfort, and heal. He already has done this. I hope that these verses would comfort those who are hurting, and that you may cry out to Him who hears you...that you may lay prostrate before the Almighty Creator and sob with grateful tears that He has provided a way for us to rest, a way for us to have peace, a way for us to be with Him. Nothing can, has or ever will compare to that truth. "Oh, the depths of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgements and unfathomable His ways." Rom 11:33
