Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 NLT
We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps. Proverbs 16:9 NLT
If you have the Holy Spirit on the inside, you can stand any kind of battle on the outside. God sends the heavenly Helper to give us His strength and encouragement.
