Just as a loving parent holds their child's hand, God holds our hands and assures us that we need not fear. He is there to help us every step of the way, providing the support and strength we need as single parents. 🤝❤️

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." - John 14:27

Jesus offers us a peace that surpasses all understanding. In the midst of chaos and uncertainty, His peace can quiet our troubled hearts and give us the strength to face each day with confidence and calmness. ✌️😌

"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:7

When anxiety and worries threaten to overwhelm us, God's peace stands as a mighty fortress, guarding our hearts and minds. In Him, we find the strength to face each day with a renewed sense of purpose and serenity. 🛡️🌈

"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." - Psalm 46:10
