![]() ![]() God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. ![]() Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. Peace I leave with you my peace I give to you. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. NOTE: This parable is also told in Luke 12:22-24 2 Timothy 1:6-7įor this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. 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 yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. ![]() Therefore I tell you, d o not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. … do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Scriptures on Stress and Anxiety in the New Testament Philippians 4:6-7 ![]()
