In today's world, people are worried, fearful, anxious, and a host of other things that grind away at their souls and health. There is such an influx of information coming at us from every direction that people are just stressed out. Everyone has concerns about every conceivable subject and stress rules the world. Take a breath. It will be okay.
As Christians, God tells us to trust Him and be at peace. This will help nourish our souls and our health. This will heal our bodies and minds.
Whenever something comes along just say,"It doesn't matter, God is with me." Pray and give it to God.
Also, here is a wealth of scripture to refer to that will help keep us calm and at peace:
Psalms 46:10a. NIV [10a.] He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
Proverbs 14:30a. NIV [30a.] A heart at peace gives life to the body,
1 Peter 5:7 NIV [7] Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Philippians 4:6-7 NIV [6] Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. [7] And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Joshua 1:9 NIV [9] Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
John 14:27 NIV [27] Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
2 Timothy 1:7 NIV [7] For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Proverbs 12:25 NIV [25] Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.
Ecclesiastes 11:10a. NIV [10a.] So then, banish anxiety from your heart and cast off the troubles of your body, ...
Isaiah 41:10 NIV [10] So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Psalms 55:22 NIV [22] Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.
Psalms 94:18-19 NIV [18] When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, Lord, supported me. [19] When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.
Psalms 34:4 NIV [4] I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
Proverbs 3:5 NIV [5] Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
Psalms 56:3-4a NIV [3] When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. [4] In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid...
Matthew 11:28 NIV [28] “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Isaiah 26:3-4 NIV [3] You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. [4] Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.
Psalms 23:4 NIV [4] Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
John 16:33 NIV [33] “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
1 Peter 5:10 NIV [10] And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
Refer to these often. Memorize them. Then use them. When under attack, do like Jesus did when Satan tempted Him in the wilderness. He quoted scripture. If that doesn't work, then say...
"It doesn't matter. God is with me." Pray and give it to God.
I hope this helps.
