Need peace?

Are you worried? Are you afraid, confused, and stressed out? We all get that way sometimes. Here are some verses that I've compiled together that I go to when I feel this way. This is what God has to say to us about this. It's very comforting to me and I hope to you as well. It turns my perspective on the situation around. What's the worst thing that could happen? I could die I guess, is what I thought one day. Well, that wouldn't be so bad after all as I would then be with God forevermore. Ha! I guess I don't really have anything to worry about after all!

6:25

6:26
Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value then they?

Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
