Sometimes through life’s chaos, you feel like you have to get 10 things done all at one time and you can’t seem to catch a break. When your head hits the pillow at night, you sometimes don’t even remember to pray because you’re already making a long list of the things that you have to get accomplished the next day. Through our busy lives, we can often feel so restless and overwhelmed that we forget to sit, take a breath, and take some time for God. When you are feeling stressed or anxious, here are a few verses from the big man upstairs that will help you get through your day.
Philippians 4:6-7
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be known to God. And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Psalm 34:4-6
“I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles.”
Psalm 55:22
“Give your burdens to the Lord, and He will take care of you. He will not permit the Godly to slip and fall.”
James 1:2-4
“Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.”
Proverbs 12:25
“Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down but a good word makes him glad.”

"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."
Matthew 6:25-26
"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and you your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”
