“Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” 1 Peter 5:7 NLT

Is your mind besieged with fear and worry? Read these seven scriptures prayerfully and carefully, and use them in prayer: “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7 NLT). “The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace” (Psalm 29:11 NLT). “Give your worries to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will never let good people down” (Psalm 55:22 NCV). “You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!” (Isaiah 26:3 NLT). “I am leaving you with a gift – peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid” (John 14:27 NLT). “Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit” (Jeremiah 17:7-8 NLT). “Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet” (Proverbs 3:24 NKJV).
