Psalms 94:19 ESV
“When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.”

When people are burden down with cares and troubles, I tell them to do two things: (1) put on some of your favorite Christian music and sing and praise your way through. (2) Look into the scriptures, they are full of promises from God to bring peace and comfort.

Scriptures like these: Isaiah 41:10 ESV. “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Philippians 4:6-7 ESV: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication  with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Matthew 11:28 ESV: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

John 16:33 ESV: “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace.  In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

Prayer:
Father, I have cares on every side, but I know if I trust in You, You will bring me through. When I need your encouragement I run to Your word and receive the hope and strength that I need.
