"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." – Philippians 4:19 (NIV)
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." – Matthew 6:34 (NIV)
"The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?" – Psalm 27:1 (NIV)

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." – Matthew 6:33 (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. 🙏😇

Luke 15:20-24 – "So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate."
