"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." β Philippians 4:19 (NIV)
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." β Matthew 6:34 (NIV)

These powerful Bible verses remind us that we do not have to succumb to fear and anxiety. Instead, we have a loving and compassionate God who promises to be with us in every situation. Just as Jesus calmed the stormy seas and taught his disciples to trust in God's plan, we too can find peace and reassurance in his teachings. Let these verses be a source of encouragement and strength as you navigate through life's challenges.
As we delve into the depths of these verses, let us remember to love God with all our heart and soul. Embrace faith over fear, for our God is greater than any worry or anxiety we may face. Let us also remember to love one another, supporting and encouraging each other on this journey of faith. And above all, never forget that God loves you unconditionally. Trust in Him, and He will guide you through every storm.
May God bless you abundantly and fill your heart with peace and joy as you choose faith over fear. ππ

Romans 12:17-21 β "Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for Godβs wrath, for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay,' says the Lord. On the contrary: 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.' Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.β So they began to celebrate."
