In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength they shall mount up with wings like eagles they shall run and not be weary they shall walk and not faint.Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. Peace I leave with you my peace I give you.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.And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.Fear not, for I am with you be not dismayed, for I am your God I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me your rod and your staff, they comfort me. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.So then, banish anxiety from your heart and cast off the troubles of your body, for youth and vigor are meaningless.

Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? – Matthew 6:25 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink or about your body, what you will wear.Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.If you feel like you could use some encouragement right now, these Bible verses for overwhelming times will surely inspire you: These experiences shape you so you can fulfill God’s purpose for your life.
