In times of uncertainty, believers are encouraged to cast their cares upon God, who cares for them. According to 1 Peter 5:7, He invites us to come to Him with our anxieties, promising to sustain us. Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:25-34 that our heavenly Father provides for even the smallest creatures, and will certainly care for His children. As we trust in His goodness, we can experience the peace that surpasses understanding, as promised in Philippians 4:6-7, and find strength in the midst of turmoil, as assured in John 16:33.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns—and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you. Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”
And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.
Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!
Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’ and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.”
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
