In times of uncertainty, believers are encouraged to cast their anxieties upon God, who cares for them deeply. Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:25-34 that worry is futile, as God provides for even the smallest creatures, and therefore will certainly care for His children. The apostle Paul reminds us in Philippians 4:6-7 to bring our concerns to God in prayer, receiving His peace in return. Additionally, 1 Peter 5:7 and the words of Jesus in John 14:1 and 27 offer reassurance, urging us to trust in God's love and provision, letting go of worry and embracing His peace.

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.
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.
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.
Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you. Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— whom shall I dread?
