“do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Psalms 18:2
The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.
Psalms 28:1-2
To you, O LORD, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if you be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit. Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary.

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?
Acts 2:21
And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’
It is common for each of us to be anxious about something at different times of our lives. We don’t have to think back very far to remember these times. What was going through your mind? Worry, fret, upset? God has given us many scripture to comfort us in our times of trouble if we would just trust in His loving hands and power. If we would seek Him rather than run to “worry”. If we would trust Him rather than the circumstances that surround us. If we would learn to cast our cares and worries on to Him. The troubles that come our way do not have to be ours to bear alone. God is ever present and wanting us to acknowledge Him as our rock, refuge, stronghold. Why do we want to go it alone? Do we actually like to worry, have anxious thoughts, and unable to sleep? The next time worry, doubt, and anxiousness knocks on your door, ask God to answer it. In His hands we can certainly have a peace that surpasses all understanding.
