“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)
Someone said, “Worry is like a rocking chair: a whole lot of action but you get nowhere.” Instead of being “full of care,” we are encouraged to turn everything over to God in prayer while thanking Him. An old hymn says, “Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.”
When we cease worrying and turn our cares over to Him we will have peace beyond understanding.

Said the robin to the sparrow:
“I should really like to know
Why these anxious human beings
Rush about and worry so.”
Said the sparrow to the robin:
“I suppose that it must be
That they have no heavenly Father
Such as watches you and me.”
