In times of uncertainty, believers are encouraged to cast their cares upon God, for He is near to the brokenhearted. The apostle Paul instructs us to bring our requests to God with thanksgiving, promising that His peace will guard our hearts and minds (Philippians 4:6-7). Jesus teaches us not to worry about tomorrow, but to seek first the kingdom of God, trusting that our heavenly Father will provide for our needs (Matthew 6:25-34). As we surrender our anxieties to God, we can experience the peace that Jesus gives, a peace that surpasses all understanding (John 14:27). By focusing on the present moment, we can let go of worry and stress, taking one day at a time, as Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:34.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns—and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.
