Do you feel worried?

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:4-7, NIV

But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble. Psalm 37:39-40, NKJV

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
